Samsung C&T "Hannam 4 District, a Landmark Embracing the Han River"

Samsung C&T Construction Division announced on the 16th that it proposed a complex design emphasizing 'Hangang' as the core keyword for the redevelopment project of Hannam 4 District in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The plan is to enable views of the Hangang River throughout the complex, from the highest sky community in Hannam New Town to landscaping and commercial facilities.

According to the design proposal submitted to the Hannam 4 District association, Samsung C&T will create a sky community at an elevation of 90 meters above sea level. It features a 360-degree panoramic view encompassing the Hangang River, Namsan, and Yongsan Park.

Above all, considering past cases where excessive designs were canceled, the initial architectural review maintained a similar scale while securing maximum views as the highest community in Hannam New Town. The sky community will include a Leaders Lounge Cafe, a tech lounge extending outdoors, and a guest house. The Leaders Lounge Cafe’s interior design involved Nicola Galizia, a world-renowned Italian designer. To maximize Hangang views, a community space specialized for viewing will be placed in the 'O-shaped' main building, which is the first in redevelopment projects to file a patent. Plans include a mega library, family cinema, and meditation cafe.

The premium landscaping facilities placed throughout the complex are also designed around the theme of the Hangang River. First, rooftop greening will be applied to all buildings in Hannam 4 District. Rooftops of three buildings, including blocks 31, 33, and 34, will provide spaces for relaxation with views of the Hangang River. Additionally, mid-level lounges will be installed in blocks 32 and 34, featuring water-themed landscaping facilities called the 'Garden of Water,' which evoke the feeling of drawing in the Hangang River.

Furthermore, seven buildings in an X shape along Bogwang-ro will have connected pilotis rooftops, creating the 'Highline 365,' an aerial walkway with Hangang views at a height of 23 meters above ground and a total length of 365 meters. A Samsung C&T official stated, "The design will also allow Hangang views from commercial spaces located on the first and second floors, enhancing the value of the commercial facilities."
