The Good Design Award 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 is a system that grants the government-certified Good Design (GD) mark after a comprehensive evaluation of appearance, functionality, materials, and economic feasibility among products sold or scheduled to be sold domestically and internationally within the last two years.

The design submitted by Dongbu Construction is 'Bangoksan-gyeong (盤曲山景)' of Banpo Centreville Asterium. Bangoksan-gyeong means 'the landscape with Gugok Waterfall in Banpo' and signifies the reproduction of the natural environment of Chuncheon Gugok Waterfall within the complex. Specifically, an open-type protruding balcony shaped like waves was created, and the form of bizarre rocks and the image of a deep valley were expressed above the underground parking entrance ramp.

Additionally, through professional planting arrangements, residents can enjoy the beautiful nature until early winter. Along with this, landscaping was attempted by incorporating displays into the outdoor space using various sculptural elements such as partition walls, hardware, and flowerpots.

A Dongbu Construction official said, "The landscaping of Banpo Centreville Asterium was created with the concept of transferring Korea’s beautiful natural scenery, like a piece of oriental painting, into the complex," adding, "We will strive to enhance residents' satisfaction with differentiated design and originality, just like Centreville’s slogan, 'A home that makes people beautiful.'"
