The winning design from Atech General Architects was highly praised for its eco-friendly concept, which features a 'gable atrium' structure with triangular skylights that bring in natural light, creating a spacious and bright interior. The plan for an economical and efficient parking flow also received positive feedback from the judges.

This design competition marked the first time Seocho District introduced digital judging, utilizing the Seoul Metropolitan Government's 'Project Seoul' system for submissions, announcements, and evaluations. The entire judging process was broadcast live on YouTube to ensure fairness and transparency.

Since its construction in 2018, the Seocho Sports Complex has contributed to improving residents' fitness. The remodeling will begin construction in the second half of next year, with the goal of reopening in 2027. Major improvements include the addition of four indoor screen golf facilities, 14 new practice booths, and 22 additional parking spaces, significantly enhancing the sports amenities and providing various conveniences to residents.

Jeon Seongsoo, Mayor of Seocho District, stated, "We will successfully carry out the Seocho Sports Complex remodeling project by faithfully reflecting the planning excellence of the winning design," adding, "We hope you look forward to the new Seocho Sports Complex, which will be reborn as a complex cultural and sports space."
