Supermass Studio is a landscape architecture firm recognized for its innovative design expertise in public spaces, urban open spaces, and large-scale residential and mixed-use development projects. Daewoo Engineering & Construction plans to incorporate Supermass Studio's world-class landscape design capabilities into Mokdong Complex 8, aiming to create residential spaces that residents can enjoy in their daily lives.

Supermass Studio has undertaken a diverse range of global landmark projects, including Finland's signature coastal city development 'Helsinki South Harbor', New York's 'LaGuardia Airport Terminal B Concourse Park', as well as other university and mixed-use projects. In particular, based on its design philosophy of organically connecting nature and the city, people and spaces, Supermass Studio has moved beyond simply creating green spaces to develop environments that enhance the city's identity and the quality of life.

For the Mokdong Complex 8 project, Supermass Studio and Daewoo Engineering & Construction plan to introduce the 'Living Arboretum' concept, which will transform the entire complex into a vast arboretum. Rather than stopping at the creation of plentiful green areas with trees, the project will feature twelve themed arboreal collections organized according to a plant taxonomy system, along with landscape designs that reflect changes across the seasons, to deliver a uniquely differentiated landscape for Mokdong Complex 8.

Each collection will be organically linked to pedestrian pathways, water features, and community spaces, allowing residents to experience nature in their daily lives as if strolling through an arboretum. In particular, the arboretum-style landscaping, reflecting Mokdong's identity as the 'City of Trees' and its character as an educational district, is expected to become a new premium landscape landmark for Mokdong, where its ecological and scenic value will continue to grow over time.
