BESPOKE HOUSING PLATFORM MASTERPLAN

Nestled within the verdant landscapes of Yangchon-eup, Gimpo City, this project occupies a site surrounded by a serene forest and crowned by a gentle hill. Its purpose is to develop a visionary community rooted in new culture, space, and technology. The project is driven by the ideals of LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability), aiming to embody social sustainability, life sustainability, and environmental sustainability. It aspires to be more than just a residential complex; it is a commitment to a holistic approach that considers not only personal well-being but also environmental stewardship and social responsibility, with an eye toward the future of our planet.

Respecting the existing allocation of over 80 parcels, the project’s design standards for new public spaces are visionary. They focus on creating immersive entry experiences, enhancing the streetscape, and providing design criteria for communal spaces within and outside the community.

The residential typology here has been carefully analyzed in light of the significant changes in living environments post-pandemic. Five distinct residential types have emerged to cater to diverse lifestyles. Individual spaces are designed to be customizable, aligning with residents’ preferences, offering the flexibility of a bespoke housing platform.

This development isn’t just about housing; it’s about crafting a way of life that reflects the evolving needs of modern society while nurturing an environment where personal aspirations align with ecological and social responsibilities. It’s an invitation to join a community that embodies the spirit of LOHAS and envisions a sustainable, dynamic, and harmonious future.
