Yangcheon-gu Announces Design Competition for 'Anyangcheon Big Deck,' a Waterfront Vitality Hub Space at Sinmokdong Station

Registration until February 23, Submission of contest entries by March 15 at 5 PM, Basic and detailed design rights granted to final winners... Expansion of existing Bike Lounge into cafe and community space, Large-scale deck installation to create waterfront attraction

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) is drawing up the blueprint for the 'Anyangcheon Big Deck (tentative name)' to be built along the Anyangcheon riverside near Sinmokdong Station.

The district announced on the 14th that it will hold a design competition for the 'Anyangcheon Sinmokdong Station Waterfront Vitality Hub Project.' Registration for participation is open until the 23rd of this month, and proposals must be submitted by 5 p.m. on March 15.

The 'Anyangcheon Big Deck (tentative name),' to be created by expanding and improving the two-story 'Bike Lounge' near Sinmokdong Station, will be a core facility of a waterfront cultural community space combining the riverside station area and local assets.

Earlier, in April last year, the district secured 3 billion KRW in city funds after the Anyangcheon Sinmokdong Station area was selected as the target site in Seoul's 'Waterfront Vitality Hub Project Competition.'

Through this design competition, the district plans to transform the existing Bike Lounge, which had low usage, into a waterfront service space equipped with a caf?, convenience store, community activity spaces, and a large deck promenade, leveraging the advantages of public transportation accessibility and the water ecological axis. This will not only expand relatively lacking resident convenience and leisure facilities but also contribute to revitalizing the local economy by creating a new concept of waterfront attraction.

The district will accept applications from architects wishing to participate via the 'Seoul City Design Competition Website' until the 23rd of this month, hold an on-site briefing session, and receive competition proposals by 5 p.m. on March 15. Afterward, the design competition judging committee will review the entries and select the winning design in April, granting the rights for basic and detailed design.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "I hope this design competition will present a blueprint for an innovative waterfront vitality hub space connecting the station area around Sinmokdong Station and the Anyangcheon water area," adding, "We will perfect the Anyangcheon riverside near Sinmokdong Station to become another landmark representing Yangcheon."
