Daewon’s “Cantavil The Edition” in Bukbyeon 2, Gimpo Draws Attention with Pet-Premium Specialized Design

Pet-Friendly Designs Featuring Care, Movement, and Storage
Emerging as the New Standard for Apartments
As Demand for Convenient Living Spaces Grows,
The Unique Value of Pet-Specialized Units Is Rising in Each Region

As companion animals have become established as family members in what is now the “era of 15 million pet owners,” the criteria for choosing an apartment are changing rapidly.

According to the Korea Pet Food Association, as of 2023, the population raising companion animals in Korea has reached approximately 15 million, with about 30% of all households owning a pet. The “2025 Korea Pet Report” by KB Management Research Institute also shows a steady increase, with 5.91 million households (26.7%) raising pets. This indicates that residential environments where people and pets live together are no longer just a preference for a select group of consumers, but have become a mainstream lifestyle.

With the expansion of pet-owning households, specific inconveniences in indoor spaces and daily routines are becoming more apparent. A survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport found that 47% of respondents said there was not enough space for pets to live comfortably, and the proportion of those mentioning the need for dedicated care spaces for bathing and grooming has been increasing every year. Noise and shedding during drying and coat care for medium and large-sized dogs, as well as the risk of slipping, are also cited as major sources of stress. Conflicts in hallways and elevators are common issues for both pet and non-pet households, with some complexes even restricting walks within the premises.

To address these issues, the construction industry has recently been actively introducing “coexistence-oriented residential designs,” such as dedicated pet pathways, play areas, care rooms, and noise-reducing layouts. Functional features such as elevator etiquette buttons indicating pet occupancy, indoor playgrounds, anti-slip flooring, and indoor agility spaces are being expanded. In fact, pet-specialized complexes have demonstrated their marketability by recording high subscription rates in the housing market.

Pet-specialized Room (Plus Option) Featured at Cantavil The Edition

Amid this trend, Daewon Co., Ltd.’s “Cantavil The Edition,” supplied in the Bukbyeon 2 District of Gimpo, offers a rare “pet-specialized room (plus option)” in the area, maximizing usable space for pet-owning households through its design.

This space, applied to the 84㎡ Type A of “Cantavil The Edition” by Daewon Co., Ltd., is a dedicated care zone for pet bathing, drying, and paw washing. It features a layout designed to reduce shedding and improve drainage efficiency. A dedicated storage structure is also provided, allowing for the convenient organization of pet supplies and practical improvements tailored to the pet’s lifecycle.

Additionally, the 4-bay layout of the 84㎡ Type A in “Cantavil The Edition” by Daewon Co., Ltd. secures ample movement paths for pets indoors, while the integrated living room and kitchen design helps reduce stress during turning and movement.

There are also abundant walking routes connected to nearby parks such as the planned Gimpo Neighborhood Park and Geolpo Central Park, enhancing the activity and convenience for pets both indoors and outdoors.

A sales representative for “Cantavil The Edition” by Daewon Co., Ltd. stated, “The inconveniences faced by pet-owning households are no longer a matter of personal preference, but a clear residential requirement. The pet-specialized room at Cantavil The Edition is a highly unique product in the region, combining improved usable space and care functions, and will greatly enhance the quality of life for pet-owning households.”
