‘Ttukseom Jaballe’ Transformed into a Family-Friendly Complex Cultural Space

Total of 3 Floors, 2,476㎡ in Size

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government's Hangang Project Headquarters announced on the 28th that starting next year, it plans to transform Ttukseom Jabeolle, a representative cultural space of the Hangang River, into a family-friendly complex cultural space to increase its utilization.

'Ttukseom Jabeolle' is a three-story building with a total area of 2,476㎡, which is a rare scale of architecture in Hangang Park. The city plans to organize content by floor while securing the uniqueness of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle' under the unified theme of 'Hangang' and creating a harmonious complex cultural space throughout the entire area.

On the first floor of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle,' a 'Hangang History and Culture Exhibition Hall (tentative name)' will be established. Considering optimal accessibility through the ground connection and subway station, it will be designed as an open space that anyone can visit. The approximately 130-meter-long passage connecting Subway Line 7 Ttukseom Resort Station to the first floor of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle' will also be utilized as exhibition space to maximize the exhibition area.

On the second floor of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle,' a 'Seoul-style Kids Cafe' will be created. This family-friendly space will allow parents and children to enjoy play and culture together in one space at Ttukseom Hangang Park, which holds the history of Ttukseom Resort, a beloved family outing destination for a long time.

When the whole family visits 'Ttukseom Jabeolle,' a flow will be arranged to enter the second-floor 'Seoul-style Kids Cafe' after viewing the first-floor 'Hangang History and Culture Exhibition Hall (tentative name),' and the second floor will be designed for independent use. The kids cafe design will incorporate the theme of 'Hangang' to differentiate it from other facilities and naturally connect with the concept of the first-floor exhibition hall.

Finally, the third floor of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle' will maintain the existing concept of 'Seoul Saenggak Maru' and be created as a lounge space where users of the first and second floors can rest briefly. Visitors will be able to read books and Hangang-related materials held by 'Seoul Saenggak Maru,' and the space will be designed reflecting the needs of citizens who visit for personal work.

The city plans to complete the floor-by-floor design in the first half of next year, finish the space creation in the second half, and aim for a reopening in January 2024.

Yoon Jong-jang, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Hangang Project Headquarters, said, “We aim to present a new look in 2023 to increase the utilization of 'Ttukseom Jabeolle,' a representative cultural space of the Hangang River that has been loved by many citizens since its opening in 2010.” He added, “We will continue to consider and improve to create cultural spaces that citizens enjoy throughout Hangang Park.”
