Registration May 31 - June 1, Winning Entries Selected in September, 1st Prize Awarded Design Rights

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 26th that it will hold a design competition for the construction of the largest 'Pet Village' in Gyeongnam.

The Pet Village project will have a total budget of 8 billion KRW. It will be built on a site of 9,911㎡ at 564-1 Sangbok-dong, Seongsan-gu, with a total floor area of 3,417㎡, consisting of two buildings (Animal Protection Center and Companion Animal Support Center), and will be three stories above ground.

The Animal Protection Center will be two stories high and will include kennels, an adoption center, a shelter, and an education room.

The Companion Animal Support Center will be three stories high and will house a pet cafe, pet grooming salon, goods sales, and a vocational experience learning center.

Outside the center, a 'Companion Animal Playground' opened in June last year and is currently in operation.

The design basic direction suggests that the existing companion animal playground, Animal Protection Center, and Companion Animal Support Center be organically connected, and that a vocational education space for related job experience be provided.

Design proposals will be accepted until the end of August, and after review by the judging committee, the winning design will be selected on September 6. The first-place winner will be granted the design rights.

Registration for participation can be done by visiting the Changwon City Architecture and Landscape Division office (2nd floor, Annex 1) from May 31 to June 1, or by submitting via email.
