Coastal Architecture Firm (Coastal Architecture) announced on the 24th that it has been selected as the architectural designer for the Shin Dong-A Apartment reconstruction project located in Seobinggo-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul.
The Seobinggo Shin Dong-A Apartment reconstruction association concluded the selection process for architectural designers during a general meeting held on the 23rd. In the voting for this selection, Coastal Architecture and Heerim Architects & Planners participated. A total of 920 votes were cast (excluding invalid votes), with Coastal Architecture receiving 665 votes, surpassing Heerim Architects & Planners, which received 255 votes, thus being selected as the architectural designer for the Seobinggo Shin Dong-A Apartment reconstruction.
The Seobinggo Shin Dong-A Apartment, located in Yongsan District, Seoul, boasts a premium view facing the Han River to the south and encompasses Yongsan Park and Namsan.
Coastal Architecture, selected as the architectural designer this time, proposed 'Cheonghanjae', which embodies the grandeur of a mansion and the dignity of a prestigious family. The core objective was to maximize the view of the Han River, Namsan, and Yongsan Park. The main building was minimized to 10 units to secure sightlines and airflow, while the two underground levels and deck levels were utilized to reduce construction costs and duration, thereby enhancing feasibility.
A representative from Coastal Architecture noted that 'Seobinggo Shin Dong-A has a top-notch location in the country that allows one to enjoy the Han River, Namsan, and Yongsan Park simultaneously,' and added, 'To maximize locational advantages, we proposed an optimal design that can meet residential comfort, feasibility, and the expectations of high-end demand.'
The Seobinggo Shin Dong-A Apartment reconstruction association is expected to actively pursue subsequent procedures such as the selection of a construction company.
