The Problem

The Lotte World Tower required an integrated life safety and security system and would need to be a blend of Korean and International codes. In some cases, the codes conflicted and were controversial. In other cases, the firefighting and evacuation systems were in conflict.

The Solution

Where the IBC conflicted with the KBC, we assessed each situation and designed a solution for each specific case on how to move forward, which created an integrated and efficient approach to safety and accounted for the conflict between firefighting and safe evacuation.

The Results

Our solution allowed for an extremely efficient system with minimum architectural design changes, a smooth workflow with architects and engineers and a cost-effective analysis. The architectural integrity of the building was upheld because of our solution.
