First Brand Lounge Unveiled After Renewal of High-End 'Summit' Brand
Modern Reinterpretation of the Traditional 'Ahwa' Concept
Open Community Space for Communication with Local Residents

"Daewoo Engineering & Construction does not consider itself in competition with other construction companies. We are simply preparing the best possible design with the mindset of building the 'Summit' landmark in Mokdong."

At the Summit Mokdong Lounge, Daewoo Engineering & Construction's high-end residential brand located in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, which I visited on June 15, Choi Kiho, Head of the Gangseo Sales Branch at Daewoo Engineering & Construction, expressed his confidence with these remarks.


The Summit Mokdong Lounge I visited that day exuded the refined elegance of Korean aesthetics. The space evoked the cultural atmosphere of "Ahwa," a place where scholars and literati would gather to drink tea, share poetry and music, and exchange thoughts and discourse, as if that tradition had been transported to the Mokdong Lounge. Daewoo Engineering & Construction has reinterpreted the values of such traditional spaces in a modern way, creating a venue that captures Mokdong’s history, culture, and the stories of its people.

The Summit Mokdong Lounge is the first brand lounge to be introduced following last year's complete renewal of the Summit brand. It was established to share and expand touchpoints with customers regarding the value and vision of high-end residences that Daewoo Engineering & Construction proposes in Mokdong, where major redevelopment projects are underway.


The approximately 248-square-meter (about 75 pyeong) space is divided into four organically connected areas: ▲ "Jeopbin," the welcoming entrance for guests, and "Yeongbin," the sophisticated reception area; ▲ "Seoga," a taste-sharing space that enhances cultural depth with a face-to-face kitchen and decorative shelves at its center; ▲ "Cheongeum," a discourse area for sharing thoughts using the latest audiovisual materials; ▲ and "Yudam," a consultation space for in-depth communication in private rooms.

Hyeong Namho, Senior Manager at the Gangseo Sales Branch of Daewoo Engineering & Construction, said, "This lounge will become a space for communication where we listen to the stories of local residents," adding, "We hope the future of Mokdong will unfold here."


He continued, "For Mokdong's reconstruction, Daewoo Engineering & Construction is preparing specialized features such as super high-rise designs, exteriors, public areas, landscaping, community amenities, unit layouts, and parking customized at a level of 2.0 spaces per household."


Choi Kiho, Head of Branch, stated, "As the construction company, we will support residents so that relocation and various issues can proceed as quickly as possible," adding, "Daewoo Engineering & Construction excels at specialized design. We will maximize the number of parking spaces within the bidding guidelines." Currently, the average number of parking spaces in Mokdong’s redevelopment complexes is only 0.4 to 0.8 per household, highlighting the severity of the parking shortage.

A representative from Daewoo Engineering & Construction commented, "The Summit Mokdong Lounge is not only a space that embodies the unique sophistication and philosophy of our high-end residential brand, but also an open community area where we listen to the thoughts and stories of Mokdong residents. Going forward, we will actively promote the competitiveness of the Summit brand in Mokdong, a key urban redevelopment area in Seoul, continue to discuss the future direction of residential living with our customers, and consistently provide differentiated brand experiences."



Daewoo Engineering & Construction plans to further expand its order book by targeting core redevelopment sites across Seoul, including the Sangdo 15 District redevelopment in Dongjak-gu, Seongsu 4 District redevelopment in Seongdong-gu, Mokdong Complexes 8, 11, and 14, as well as the Sinwol Siyoung reconstruction in Yangcheon-gu.
