for Icheon Branch School Base Camp
with "A Space in Harmony with Nature"

Ulsan Ulju-gun announced on the 24th that it has selected "A Space in Harmony with Nature," jointly submitted by Tteuljip Architects Office and Hana Architecture Architects Office, as the winning design for the architectural design competition for the construction of the Icheon Branch School Base Camp.

Ulju-gun is promoting the construction of the Icheon Branch School Base Camp to provide amenities for hikers and cycling tourists visiting the Yeongnam Alps.

Previously, the architectural design competition was held starting from January 20, with a total of 37 teams participating and 10 final submissions received.

The winning design, "A Space in Harmony with Nature," was recognized for minimizing artificial elements and leaving the space of the closed Icheon Branch School empty to create a courtyard, thereby evoking memories of the original site.

The jury highly evaluated the design for preserving the sense of place of the former Icheon Branch School while utilizing the wide playground to flexibly accommodate various programs organized by the local government.

The winner of this design competition will be granted the rights to develop both the basic and detailed designs for the Icheon Branch School Base Camp, while the other four finalists will receive a total of 26.2 million won in prize money.

Based on the winning design, Ulju-gun plans to complete both the basic and detailed designs by December and to fully launch the construction project for the Icheon Branch School Base Camp. The project has a design budget of 260 million won and a construction budget of 5.9 billion won, with completion scheduled for December next year.

The new Icheon Branch School Base Camp will be a two-story building with a total floor area of 1,549.28 square meters, and will include a mountain base camp, tourist information center, cycling center, multipurpose conference room, foot bath, and village workshop, among other facilities.
