Gim Su-yeong, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member: "Reduce Ceiling Height in Refuge Areas, Increase Ceiling Height on Top Floors"

Apartment Design Change Pointed Out During Construction in Hwajeong-dong

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Kim Soo-young, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, pointed out the design changes of an apartment under construction in Hwajeong-dong, Seo-gu, scheduled for occupancy in October.

Councilor Kim stated, "The apartment, which received housing construction project approval from Seo-gu in July, has changed its project plan a total of five times," adding, "In particular, the fifth project plan change reportedly included reducing the ceiling height of the evacuation safety zone?a space where residents can evacuate in emergencies?from the original 5 meters to 4 meters, while increasing the ceiling height of the top floor, the 38th floor, by 60 cm and making the floor slab 40 cm thicker."

He continued, "It is questionable whether it is possible to reduce the ceiling height of the evacuation safety zone, a space for all residents, in order to increase the ceiling height exclusively for the penthouse on a specific floor."
