Nowdongsin Unveils Mokdong 2 Complex Design... High-Rise Units Feature Han River Views

South-Facing Layouts for All Units
Specialized Design for Han River Views in High-Rise Residences

Nowdongsin Architects & Engineers unveiled its Mokdong 2 Complex reconstruction plan on April 13, highlighting Han River views and south-facing layouts for all residential units.

This proposal focuses on maximizing the locational advantages of Mokdong 2 Complex. The core features include expanding the number of high-rise units with Han River views and arranging all units to face south, thereby ensuring optimal views, natural lighting, and a sense of openness. In particular, high-rise units above the 26th floor have been specially designed to maximize the Han River view.

The site layout plan has also been adjusted to differentiate it from the standard redevelopment plan. The number of residential buildings will be reduced and optimized from the existing 32, and the distance between buildings will be extended up to 250 meters. This strategy aims to minimize view obstruction and enhance sunlight, ventilation, and openness.

Green spaces will also be expanded. The complex will feature approximately 99,000 square meters of landscaped areas. The plan includes connecting an external 3.5-kilometer circular walking trail linking Yongwangsan Neighborhood Park and Paris Park. Inside the complex, there will be 12 themed gardens, a central plaza, waterfront spaces, and an ecological green axis.

Pedestrian pathways have been designed with residents in mind. A pilotis structure will be applied to all residential buildings to enhance openness at the lower levels, and the height of the lowest residential units will be set at the equivalent of the fifth floor in a standard apartment, ensuring both comfort and privacy for pedestrian spaces.

At a height of approximately 9 meters above ground, a 1-kilometer-long elevated walkway called 'Sky Avenue' will be built. This will form a resident-only circular walking system, separated from external public walkways.

Educational and safety elements are also incorporated. Key pathways connecting to schools within the complex will feature a 'Signature Canopy,' ensuring safe passage for students during rainy weather.

A representative from Nowdongsin Architects & Engineers stated, "The plan focuses on enhancing the value of Mokdong 2 Complex's location by prioritizing Han River views and south-facing layouts for all units," adding, "We aim to create a highly competitive residential complex by improving the overall design, layout, green spaces, and pedestrian pathways."

The Mokdong 2 Complex project is a trust-based reconstruction project led by Hana Asset Trust as the project operator. The plan involves demolishing the existing 1,640 units and constructing a total of 3,389 residential units and neighborhood facilities in buildings ranging from three basement levels to 49 above-ground floors.
