The Terrace at Lotte Department Store Dongtan Branch won the Silver Award in the Space and Environmental Design category at the 2021 Good Design Award.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Department Store announced on the 7th that 'The Terrace,' a resting space located on the 3rd floor of the Dongtan branch, won the Silver Award in the Space and Environmental Design category at the 2021 Good Design Awards.

The Good Design Awards are hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. This system grants government certification symbols to products with excellent design. It has been held annually since 1985, evaluating design products across seven categories including product design, space and environmental design, and visual and information design.

The Terrace is the signature space of the Dongtan branch, created on approximately 3,300㎡ (1,000 pyeong) outdoors on the 3rd floor. It is a resting area featuring a reed forest and tree-lined paths where visitors can feel nature, a large oval fountain in the center, and unique art sculptures by domestic and international artists. In particular, 'The Man Carrying an Elephant' by Fabian Merel, located at the center of The Terrace, has become a popular photo spot representing the Dongtan branch with its distinctive pose.

Jung Hoo-sik, head of Lotte Department Store Dongtan branch, said, “The Terrace is a healing space completed by the design firm Benoy, which designed the Dongtan branch based on an understanding of the city of Dongtan. We devoted great effort to ensure it includes various elements such as rest, art, and experience. Moving forward, we will continue to put much effort into space design so that the department store can provide customers with new experiences and become a space that inspires art.”
