Camp Reblu
Camp Reblu is a new office building in Hongdae, thoughtfully redeveloped from a beloved old hostel that once welcomed travelers from all over the world. The design gently connects the past and present, blending the buildingβs signature blue concrete with soft ivory terracotta tiles. It stands as a warm, timeless landmark that carries memories forward while embracing the lively spirit of Seoul.

βCamp Reblu was originally Blu Guesthouse, a place where countless people shared time and stories together. Though it has now been transformed into a new office building, I hope that those who once stayed here can return someday and feel the warmth of their memories again. It would mean a lot if this space could still hold a small piece of their journeys.β

Where Memories Stayed β Blu Guesthouse
01. Remembering the Blue β
The Beginning of Camp Reblu
βCamp Rebluβ is located in the vibrant Hongdae district of Seoul and is a redevelopment of a former hostel that had been a hub for young backpackers and international visitors for over two decades. The original building, once known as Blu Guesthouse, with its distinctive blue walls and exposed concrete structure, became one of the areaβs first-generation hostels and a beloved place filled with memories from around the world.
The goal of the new development was to preserve the spirit of this iconic space β allowing those who once stayed here to revisit, reconnect, and rediscover the warmth of their memories through subtle traces of the buildingβs original identity.

The Logo Story The logo reinterprets the 'R' of Reblu as an inverted Korean character 'γ ' β a quiet nod to the original 'Blue' guesthouse. More than a design choice, it's an act of remembrance: carrying the spirit of that first gathering place into everything Reblu builds today.

Completing Camp Reblu was more than finishing a building β it was about giving new life to a place filled with memories. Each layer of material carries traces of the past, quietly connecting what once was with what now stands. During the process, I often thought about the countless travelers who once shared stories here. I hope they can return one day and still feel something familiar in this new space. For me, this project became a gentle reminder that architecture can hold time, memory, and emotion all at once.

The ocean. The sky. The largest ecosystems we know are, somehow, blue.
Within them, countless beings live alongside one another β each with their own language, their own way of communicating. But what holds them all together isn't words or signals. It's the environment itself: something that exists like air, like the space between.
When you live inside it, you can't see the blue. Yet it surrounds you. And within it, connection happens β not through explanation, but through feeling.
That is the space Camp Reblu is here to create.
