On purpose, pines at dawn
Set the alarm a little early. Three minutes to the gate, and among five-hundred-year-old pines the same city wakes up differently.
Between a forest of towers and a forest of pines, a forest of romance.

Between Two Forests
Five minutes from the station. Three more to pines that have stood five hundred years. Between the forest of towers and the forest of pines, we take the extra step on purpose. Those steps grow into a third forest. A forest of romance.
Our Forest
Teheran-ro outside the window; a short walk, and Seolleung. The pine forest of a royal tomb, standing since 1495, is the oldest neighbour on the block. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. VACATIO Samseong sits where the forest of towers meets the forest of pines, three minutes away on foot.
Seolleung, since 1495
500 Years of Pines
Pines reflected in glass towers, glass towers beyond the pines. Between the two, a third forest grows.
Worth the Trouble
Things no one would notice if you skipped them. Which is exactly why they stay with you.
