Daehung Comprehensive Engineering Architecture Office Submission

Commencement of November Design Service for Housing Stability and Satisfaction Improvement

Ulsan City has selected the final winning design in the architectural design competition for the ‘Taehwa-dong Youth Hope Housing Construction’ project.

The winning design is ‘Go With? Youth Hope Housing Accompanying the Old Downtown’ by Daehung Comprehensive Engineering Architects Office Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Tae-seok).

This design maximizes ventilation, lighting, and sunlight by arranging most units to face south.

Considering the lifestyle of youth, it features flexible and diverse layouts including a 24-hour collaborative space for free work and study, a spacious communal kitchen equipped with various cooking utensils, a home cinema with a large screen and rich sound, and a cultural lounge filled with books.

Additionally, to foster harmony and communication among residents, the rooftop includes an urban garden and a terrace where residents can enjoy relaxation and leisure in the city, creating a comfortable living environment that makes people want to stay home even on holidays, which received high praise.

Ulsan City plans to build 16 units of Youth Hope Housing with a total floor area of 659㎡ and five stories above ground in the Taehwa-dong area of Jung-gu by November 2025, with a budget of 3.3 billion KRW, following the selection of the winning design for the Taehwa-dong Youth Hope Housing design competition.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We hope that young people can focus on their studies and work without worrying about housing,” and added, “We hope more young people settle in Ulsan and grow together with the city.”

In addition to the Taehwa-dong Youth Hope Housing, Ulsan City is currently designing and constructing 223 high-quality public housing units across eight locations including Seongan-dong, Sinjeong-dong, Samsan-dong, Daldong, Bangeo-dong, and Yangjeong-dong, with construction expected to be completed by May 2026.
