The public pedestrian walkway at Raemian One Bailey is a 360-meter underground section connecting the Express Bus Terminal Station underground shopping mall to Banpo Hangang Park, and it is open to the public. Samsung C&T created a gallery in this underground space featuring works by 24 graffiti, cartoon, and illustration artists under the theme "Daily Life of Seoul Citizens, 24 Hours of Seoul." Additionally, natural lighting was enhanced through upper skylights to increase the sense of openness.

The IDEA Design Awards are international design awards hosted by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). A panel of professional industrial design judges selects the final winners after evaluating detailed criteria such as innovation, usability, social contribution, and aesthetics. A Samsung C&T official stated, "Creating a public space as an art space not only increased the value of the complex but also positively contributed to improving the social environment."

With this award, Samsung C&T has swept the world's top three design awards this year, including the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award. Kim Myung-seok, Head of the Housing Business Division, stated, "We will continue to present innovative and differentiated designs that enhance the value of Raemian and satisfy our customers."
