Research: Professor Kim Nando of Seoul National University: Refer to the Research Data on Lifestyle Housing Platform Product/Operation Strategy
Inspiration: The project started with a site called Garak in Seoul. Unlike in the past, Garak was a safe place due to the flooding of the Hangang River. Considering the regional characteristics of preventing external waves, the elevation design was designed with the motif of the columnar joint. In addition, it borrowed the form of curves and waves of freedom in the intangible meaning of "joy" in the name of the melody to draw sympathy from users by designing the main entrance and community.
Project Duration: This project is the center of development in the eastern part of Seoul, where new future values will be realized along with continuous development. Construction begins in September 2022 and is scheduled to be completed in October 2025.
Operation Flow: Existing small housing markets often focus on habitability and cost-effectiveness. Asty Garak refers to the need for high-end spaces and communities tailored to the changing lifestyle and society as value consumption MZ generation and young rich increase. In addition, the maximum outdoor area is guaranteed with an average of 40 square meters of small residential 3bay configuration, maximizing residential comfort compared to existing small residential areas.
