[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 15th that seven of its landscape design works simultaneously won awards at the ‘2021 Good Design (GD)’ awards.

Since 1985, the ‘Good Design’ award has been held annually and is the most prestigious design award in Korea, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. It comprehensively evaluates the design, appearance, functionality, and economic feasibility of all products released domestically, awarding the Good Design ‘GD Mark’ to products recognized for excellence.

In this evaluation, Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s landscape design product for ‘The H Xi Gaepo’ received the highest honor in the related field, the Korea Institute of Design Promotion Director’s Award. Additionally, a total of seven works, including the complex landscaping of ‘The H La Class’ and the garden of ‘The H Forecent,’ were selected as Good Design products, marking a remarkable achievement.

The landscaping of Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s brand apartments has been praised for artistically realizing landscape spaces as high-end residential products.

The landscaping of ‘The H Xi Gaepo,’ which won the Design Promotion Director’s Award, features collaborations with world-renowned artists. The ‘Media Moonju’ by Park Je-sung of Seoul National University, who has won one of the world’s top three design awards, and the world’s first ‘Our Dad’s Playground’ by British children’s book author Anthony Browne were also selected as 2021 Good Design products.

The landscaping within the complex of ‘The H La Class,’ selected as a Good Design product, was praised for its artistic creation, contrasting a natural waterfall inspired by a deep mountain valley with a sensuous garden. The sculptural exercise facilities at ‘The H La Class,’ where residents can enjoy leisure sports, were also included in the Good Design products.

‘Meadow Carpet’ at The H Forecent site and the children’s playground ‘Forest Art Center’ constructed at ‘Pyeongchon Irvine First’ were also selected for Good Design. ‘Meadow Carpet’ involved Professor Kim Ah-yeon of the University of Seoul and was inspired by the magic carpet from Arabian Nights, created as a garden at the complex entrance.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Engineering & Construction won two awards (iF Design Award and IDEA) at the world’s top three design competitions this year. To date, it has achieved a total of 32 Good Design (GD) selections, the highest number among domestic construction companies.

A Hyundai Engineering & Construction official said, "Many recently completed Hyundai Engineering & Construction sites have been selected as Good Design (GD) products, solidifying our position as the number one apartment brand in power," adding, "We will continue to strive to develop excellent landscape design products for better customer satisfaction."
