Hyundai Construction Wins Six Awards at the '2019 Excellent Design Awards'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 31st that it received six awards at the '2019 Good Design Awards' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

The Good Design Awards are design awards hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. Since 1985, the awards have been held annually, comprehensively evaluating the design, appearance, functionality, and economic feasibility of products, and granting the Good Design mark to products recognized for their excellence.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction stated that a total of six works were selected for the Good Design Awards, including 'Heritage Garden Yeonhawon' at The H Honor Hills, 'Central Plaza' at Hillstate Homaesil, and 'Water Playground' and 'Forest Picnic Path' at Hillstate Dongtan.

'Heritage Garden Yeonhawon' at Honor Hills, which applies The H, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's premium housing brand, is a central garden in the community facilities of the complex that faithfully reproduces the natural environment of nearby Daemosan Mountain. Under the long-stretched Zelkova forest, meticulously trimmed mounding (shallow landscaped hills), natural stones, and various plant materials were arranged, and mist nozzles were installed to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the mountain slopes shrouded in early morning mist, earning high praise from the judges.

'Central Plaza' at Hillstate Homaesil was evaluated for creating a large central yard the size of a soccer field within the apartment complex and artistically enhancing the landscape by installing art decorations and sculptural facilities. The arrangement of an ecological stream and resting areas around the comfortably open grass plaza also stood out for improving convenience for residents.

Several children's playgrounds were also selected for the Good Design Awards. In particular, 'Water Playground' and 'Forest Picnic Path' at Hillstate Dongtan were recognized as works that creatively expanded usability for children.

Additionally, unique playgrounds such as the 'Art Museum Made with Colored Pencils' at Hillstate Seoul Forest River Park and the 'Funny Gym Combination Playground' at Hillstate Nokyang Station received the Good Design mark.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction stated, "We are recognized as a global construction company not only for construction but also in design, having won awards such as the IDEA, one of the world's top three design competitions, and the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) award, the highest honor in the landscaping field. We will continue to develop excellent product designs, with a particular focus on children's specialized playgrounds."
