SUNHYEWON
SUNHYEWON (鮮慧院), located in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, was once the residence of SK Group’s founder and has long represented the group’s history and traditions. Recently renewed as SK’s research institute, it now serves as a symbolic space that conveys the company’s philosophy and prestige. Covenant developed SUNHYEWON’s brand identity by drawing inspiration from the Chinese character “鮮 (Sun)” and the structural elements of Hanok architecture. The logo combines curved roof tiles and straight wooden pillars to symbolize harmony between tradition and modernity, while graphic patterns reinterpret Hanok forms with refined linear repetition. The signage system takes cues from the vertical script of traditional Korean books, creating a vertical rhythm, and uses materials such as stone, copper, and wood to reflect Hanok construction, adding depth and authenticity to the spatial experience. Together, these elements shape an identity that reflects SK’s heritage and aspirations with elegance and modern sensibility.
