Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) has unveiled the winning design for the Bucheon Wonmi Urban Public Housing Complex Project basic design competition held last August.

The Bucheon Wonmi district was designated as a redevelopment promotion zone in 2009, but due to excessive burdens on landowners and others, the project was not carried out and the district designation was canceled in 2014.

To improve the poor residential environment, it was designated as an urban public housing complex district on December 31 last year, and through the project, 1,678 new housing units are expected to be supplied.

LH planned to resolve the disconnection issue between existing residential areas and new redevelopment complexes arising from redevelopment projects by △ implementing spaces that maintain and inherit regional identity △ specializing public spaces connecting existing residential areas, and as a result, 'New Living Infra for the People of Wonmi-dong' by Yuseon Engineering Architects Co., Ltd. was selected as the grand prize winner.

The grand prize-winning design was evaluated as planning an open complex that connects the area's roads, landscapes, and community to embody the regional identity of Wonmi-dong, and presenting a harmonious urban image as a connecting point linking the old downtown with the new urban structure rather than an independent plan for the complex alone.

LH plans to select private construction companies with residents in the first half of next year and aims to approve the urban public housing complex project plan by the end of next year, proceeding with related procedures.

Park Hyun-geun, head of LH's Urban Redevelopment Planning Department, said, "With the Bucheon Wonmi district progressing smoothly among the seven districts designated last year, the remaining six districts located in Seoul are also expected to gain momentum in project promotion."
