Hyundai E&C announced on the 20th that a total of seven projects made the award list in the 'K-Design Award 2025'.
Hyundai E&C received the 'Gold Winner' in the spatial design category for its 'Arcus' located at Hillstate Hwanho Park and 'Triangle House' at Hillstate Sinyeong Deriver.
This year, Hyundai E&C is the only corporation that simultaneously claimed two awards in the institutional sector.
The K-Design Award is considered one of the three major design awards in Asia, along with the Golden Pin Design Award in Taiwan and the Design for Asia Award in Hong Kong. Awards were selected through a rigorous evaluation by over 37 esteemed judges from 10 countries to identify products with market competitiveness. This year, 35 out of more than 3,000 works from 23 countries were selected as Gold Winners.
The Arcus, selected as a Gold Winner, is a two-story tea house created at Hillstate Hwanho Park. The name means 'a shape curved like a bow or rainbow,' and the design applies an arch shape to embody soft curves and stability. The entrance, designed high against the backdrop of a pond and a rocky garden, along with the ambiance created by line lighting, resulted in an indoor space where curved and arched elements and furniture are harmoniously combined, earning high recognition for its completion.
Another awarded work, Triangle House, is a three-dimensional resting space located in Central Park within the Hillstate Sinyeong Deriver complex, harmonizing with the surrounding landscaping and design through a triangular grassy plaza and a floor fountain. The structure, inspired by a triangle, enhances originality and openness with its open design. The triangular patterned lighting in front accentuates its artistic beauty even at night, further elevating the landscape value of the complex.
In addition to these two works, five others, including the tea house, garden, and interior designs, have been selected as Winners, totaling seven awarded projects. Among them, 'Jamitang' (紫薇灘) realized a lyrical landscape through wall streams, seasonal plantings, and sculptural objects. 'House of THE H' was recognized for its innovation and sustainability as a futuristic residential model.
Hyundai E&C has demonstrated its capabilities in international design competitions, including the three major design awards (IDEA, iF, Red Dot) and the Good Design Award in the United States, through differentiated designs of the landscape and community spaces within the complex.
Recently, Hyundai E&C made its debut at the 'RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse 2025', organized by the Royal Horticultural Society in the UK, and won a Silver Gilt medal in the show garden category for its work 'Garden Whispers', created in collaboration with Sungkyunkwan University. According to a representative of Hyundai E&C, it marks the first significant achievement on the global garden festival stage for a domestic construction company.
A representative of Hyundai E&C noted, 'It has been recognized that spatial design can expand the sensory experience of life, and that landscaping can be a means of encompassing art and sustainability.' He also stated, 'We will continue to cultivate a residential culture that takes responsibility for the emotional and cultural satisfaction of residents through spatial designs that reflect our brand philosophy.'
