Samsung C&T "Creating a Central Plaza with a 300-Year-Old Zelkova Tree at Gaepo Useong 7th Complex"

[Financial News] Samsung C&T Construction Division announced on the 17th that it plans to create a massive central plaza called 'Paramount Valley' with an area of about 10,000㎡ crossing the center of the Gaepo Useong 7th Complex in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
'Paramount Valley' is expected to be the core of the landscaping design for Raemian Lumione (the proposed complex name by Samsung C&T). The plaza, which is an overwhelming size that shapes the valley flowing between the main buildings, is a representative landmark space where the city and nature meet, harmonizing forests and waterfalls at the boundary.
At the center of the plaza, a 300-year-old zelkova tree, which holds the history of the complex, will be placed as a symbolic tree, providing residents with a deep impression and pride.
Additionally, the 120m waterway 'Starlight Wave' that flows around the atrium becomes a mirror reflecting nature during the day and transforms into a 'Milky Way Path' at night by reflecting starlight.
The 80m long panoramic wall fountain 'The Infinite Veil' encountered after passing the central plaza is another landmark. The large wall fountain, which flows refreshingly down the cliff with a background of evergreen pine forests throughout the seasons, offers a dramatic impression as if meeting a waterfall deep in the forest.
The entire complex will be surrounded by a 5000-pyeong 'Supreme Forest'. The four themed forests, which show different landscapes depending on the season, and a total of 3.5km of circular walking trails provide the perfect space to escape the noise of the city and enjoy complete relaxation in nature.
In addition, rooftop gardens 'The Peak Garden' for private relaxation and cozy piloti gardens 'Halo Cove' are arranged in all buildings to create spaces filled with leisure throughout the complex.
Samsung C&T's Raemian landscaping is recognized worldwide for its capabilities, with the most awards (13 times) in Korea from the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), the world's top award in the landscaping field, and winning the world's top 3 design awards.
Kim Myung-seok, Vice President of Samsung C&T Housing Business Division, said, "The landscaping proposed for Gaepo Useong 7th Complex is an attempt to expand the lifestyle of residents into the emotional impact of nature," adding, "We will bring the emotional impact of meeting grand nature into everyday life to provide a new residential experience."
