Design Details

Unique Properties

A small open space and landscaping space were created to specialize in self-relaxation and landscaping, and a linear park passing through the subway station was connected. This was further expanded to define the entire surrounding residential complex as a huge living room. As a living room in the city, the connection to the park and the image of the relationship between pedestrians and vehicle users were interpreted as a character using the keywords, unusual and planned as a unique space of everyday life that would provide inspiration to users.

Inspiration

Mixed Contemporary, which has scenes where the daily lives of various modern people intersect with each other, can be said to be a living room in the city. On top of that, it is a space with taste and cool based on a premium based on convenience such as comfort linked to nature, inspirational non routine space experiences, and relaxation in it, as well as a living room in the city.

Research

Korean Journal of Landscape Architecture Vol.48 No.5 (2020, 10), Youngjun Choi: Trends in Korean outdoor space design. As the importance and function of outdoor spaces in commercial complexes expands, a variety of activities and participation experiences are supported. As the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is strengthened, outdoor elements are being actively introduced indoors. Improve amenities.

Challenge

Neighborhood shopping malls within apartment complexes are becoming larger and more complex, and at the same time, theme designs are being introduced. In addition to the exterior design, we paid attention to functional programs that could provide convenience to tenants and nearby latecomers. For example, residents in the back of the neighborhood could naturally enter the shopping mall, stay there, and relax by creating a passageway through the interior of a commercial facility or connecting it to a park.

Realization and Technology

In the case of the first floor, customers coming from the street influenced the potential space, and the floor fountain and rotating swing served as interesting elements for customers coming from the park. To attract visitors, attractions were placed at both entrances, and a center with a house garden concept where children could stay, run, and rest was placed in the center. If the first floor was a flat scenario that considered the relationship between the limited landscape and the surrounding environment, the second to fourth floors were a vertical scenario to strengthen connectivity between floors.

Operation and Interaction

The focus was on the trend of smaller living spaces enjoyed exclusively by individuals and the high density of work spaces experienced on the way to work. We decided to expand the concept of the living room by providing a high ceiling and a comfortable environment for residents living in a small exclusive space, and by creating a large middle space where they can relax and stay as if it were their own courtyard. In addition, in order to naturally attract park users, public items such as floor fountains and rotating tables were placed to evoke the stuffiness and dryness of everyday life through a unique experience.

Project Duration and Location
