[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Samsung C&T Construction Division announced on the 9th that the pilotis garden of 'Raemian Leaders One' in Seocho-gu, Seoul, won the 'Grand Prize' at the 2021 Asia Design Prize.

The Asia Design Prize is an international design competition established in 2017. This year, 3,187 works from 36 countries worldwide were submitted for judging, and the Grand Prize is awarded only to the top 1% of participating teams.

World-renowned designer Karim Rashid serves as the chair of the Asia Design Prize judging panel, which consists of 45 judges from 9 countries selecting the winners. Due to COVID-19, no separate award ceremony will be held this year.

The pilotis garden applied to Raemian Leaders One is a building-specific specialized landscape design that was first introduced at Raemian Sinbanpo Reosent and has since been featured in many Raemian residential complexes. It is characterized by connecting the pilotis and external landscaping to create a pleasant resting space.

The pilotis of apartments provide a breezy and shaded comfortable space but have been used only as bicycle storage or passageways. Samsung C&T sought ways to utilize the pilotis as a communal space for residents and created the pilotis garden as a building-specific garden.

The pilotis garden at Raemian Leaders One incorporates landscaping and water features designed to reduce external views and noise. When residents sit on sofas inside the pilotis and enjoy the outside scenery, the landscaping, harmonizing trees, flowers, and water, gives the feeling of enjoying a landscape painting in their own private space.

Raemian Leaders One is a complex rebuilt from Seocho Woosung 1st Apartment and was completed in September 2020. It consists of a total of 12 buildings with 1,317 households.
