Seoul Base Camp Hostel

Our training manual is finally here! So this is what every new member of the staff will get when they start, along with a tag. We hope to have a uniform as well some time in the near future.(Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

Around the corner from Basecamp is the old kingdom's retreat. It is now hidden among the highway and apartments, rarely visited. @hapamandu and we took some shots of the sunset over the river. (망원정에서)

Here is another poster of a very exclusive event where everyone is invited. (Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

Our super secret Christmas dinner is this Thursday. (Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

Part two was having a more recognizable sign at the entrance. We went with chalkboard base to convey the childhood wonder that is our foundation. Upon it are the clean modern lines that represents our utilitarian design. (Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

The first impression starts from the moment our guest enters the building. The old wall had beautiful two tone matte paint but was never clean. We thought we can do better. We gave our wall a more modern and clean look while keeping the original design. Also the semi-gloss finish makes it easy to clean so it always remains spotless.(Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

Basecamp. Now. (Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

We probably have the most talented guests in Seoul. #hostelguestart (Seoul BASE CAMP에서)

1st Thanksgiving dinner at Basecamp was like building a sand castle. We had nothing at the time. Not even tables. We made tables out of plywood scraps and iron sawhorses. Chairs were sourced from mounds of wooden pallets. People and the amazing food everyone brought really added colour to the otherwise barren landscape. We decided to place disposable cameras around those makeshift furnitures so people can keep whatever moment they liked in time.

Humans of Basecamp. No wisdom offered here. Just shared comfort.
