汉南洞4住宅项目丨韩国首尔丨UNStudio

“汉南洞-4住宅项目令人倍感振奋，因为它为首尔的城市生活树立了一个新的标杆。通过结合亲自然设计、可持续性和创新，我们正在打造一种独特的居住体验，将城市的活力与自然的宁静完美融合。这个项目不仅仅是建筑的呈现，它是关于塑造一个人类、社区和环境共同繁荣的未来。”

——UNStudio创始人兼首席建筑师本·范·贝克尔（Ben van Berkel）

“Hannamdong-4 Residences is an incredibly exciting project because it represents a new benchmark for urban living in Seoul. By blending biophilic design, sustainability and innovation, we are creating a unique residential experience that harmonises the vitality of the city with the tranquility of nature. This project is not just about architecture—it’s about shaping a future where people, community, and the environment thrive together.”

– Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect, UNStudio

UNStudio为汉南洞-4住宅项目设计的方案，通过整合设计创新、以社区为中心的空间、尖端可持续技术以及周围引人注目的自然景观，重新定义了城市生活。随着首尔快速城市化和扩张，南山与汉江之间的联系日益削弱。UNStudio与三星物产公司合作设计了一种高端生活方式，将建筑、社区与环境融合在一起，创造出一个和谐且面向未来的居住体验。该开发项目位于首尔的汉南洞-4住宅区，由一组面向汉江的O形塔楼组成，采用创新的专利螺旋设计。此外，X形和L形塔楼沿博光路（Bogwang-ro）布置，连接至南山区域。基于“亲自然连接”（Biophilic Nexus）的理念，UNStudio为这一创新型住宅开发项目提出的设计方案，以地方特色为灵感，提升个人福祉并加强社区联系。这种整体设计方法以健康与可持续性为优先，创造出城市与自然和谐共存的环境。该项目不仅仅是一个居住空间，而是一种独特的居住体验，提供壮丽的景观视野，以及通往自然和城市配套设施的便捷路径。通过重新连接居民与周围环境，项目营造了一种平和与平衡的氛围，提升了所有居住者的生活质量。

UNStudio’s design for Hannamdong-4 Residences redefines urban living by integrating design innovation, community-focused spaces, cutting-edge sustainability and the striking surrounding natural landscape. With a growing disconnect between the Namsan Mountain and the Han River, that is in part due to Seoul’s rapid urbanisation and sprawl, UNStudio’s design, in collaboration with Samsung C&T Corporation, introduces a high-end lifestyle where architecture, community and environment come together to create a harmonious and future-ready living experience. The development, located in the Hannamdong-4 Residences of Seoul, features a group of front-facing O-shaped towers along the Han River with an innovative, patented spiral design. Complementing these, X-shaped and L-shaped towers have been set along Bogwang-ro that lead towards the Namsan Mountain. Based on the concept of ‘Biophilic Nexus,’ UNStudio’s design proposal for this innovative new residential development enhances both individual well-being and community connectivity by drawing inspiration from the distinct characteristics of the locality. This holistic approach prioritises well-being and sustainability, creating an environment where the city and nature coexist in harmony. This project is more than just a place to live; it is a special residential experience offering breathtaking views and easy access to both natural and urban amenities. By reconnecting residents with their surroundings, it fosters a sense of peace and balance, enhancing the quality of life for all who call it home.

未来根植于历史

The future is historic

韩国丰富的历史文化在UNStudio的设计中占据了重要地位。设计的目标不仅是重新连接山与河，同时也通过融入象征地方文化遗产的元素，将居民与城市的历史联系起来。项目外立面的设计灵感来源于象征汉江的睡莲以及被认为已消失却在首尔重新出现的白松。这种亲自然的设计方法创造了视觉上引人注目且与环境和谐统一的外立面，彰显了项目在城市生活与自然美景融合方面的承诺。

South Korea’s rich history plays a significant role in UNStudio’s design. With the aim of not only reconnecting the mountain to the river but also bridging users to the city’s past, the design draws from elements that symbolise local heritage. The white pine, which was believed to have disappeared but has now re-emerged in Seoul, and waterlilies, emblematic of the Han River, serve as central inspirations for the facade design of the project. This biophilic approach creates a visually stunning and environmentally consonant exterior, reflecting the project’s commitment to blending urban living with natural beauty.

对于X形塔楼，其外立面采用了复杂的图案，模仿白松树的纹理和形态。垂直设计元素象征树干和树枝，融入建筑结构。中央的“树干”在裙楼层延伸成阳台，可以俯瞰汉江景观，并一直延伸至顶层框定整个塔楼。

对于O形塔楼，旋转的睡莲模块环绕着圆柱形塔楼布置，形成了一条绿色中轴。这些模块以花瓣为灵感，围绕塔楼创造出统一且富有表现力的动态效果。它们被战略性地分布，以营造出流动与动感的建筑视觉效果。

L形塔楼则作为O形塔楼的有力背景。其背面设计灵感来源于松树，而正面则受到睡莲的启发。

For the series of X-shaped towers, the facade features intricate patterns that mimic the texture and form of white pine trees. Vertical elements, indicative of tree trunks and branches, are integrated into the building’s structure. The central ‘trunk’ branches out at the podium levels to create balconies with views of the Han River and continues to grow all the way to the top framing each tower.

For the O-shaped towers, rotating waterlily modules are arranged around the cylindrical tower that naturally becomes a green spine. These modules are inspired by petals and create a cohesive and expressive articulation around the cylindrical tower. These are strategically placed to create a sense of fluidity and movement across the building.

The L towers become a powerful background for the O towers. Their back side design is inspired by pine trees, while the front side is inspired by waterlilies.

这种“亲自然连接”促进了福祉与可持续性，加强了人与自然的深层联系。项目的一大创新是住宅空间的灵活布局。为了适应不断变化的家庭结构和多样化的生活方式，这些灵活的布局允许居民根据需求调整室内空间。这种设计方法不仅提高了空间利用效率，还提供了个性化环境，以满足用户的偏好。这些创新带来了便利和效率，确保项目契合未来城市生活的需求。

This ‘Biophilic Nexus’ promotes well-being and sustainability, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. A key innovation in the project is the flexible layout for residential spaces. Designed to accommodate changing family configurations and diverse lifestyles, these flexible layouts allow residents to adjust the interior spaces according to their needs. This design approach not only increases spatial efficiency but also provides customised environments tailored to users’ preferences. These innovations provide convenience and efficiency, ensuring that the development aligns with the future of urban living.

以社区为中心的设施

Community-centred amenities

汉南洞-4住宅项目还通过宽敞的空间与绿意盎然的景观，革新了城市生活。共享空间设计旨在在人口密集的城市环境中也能增强社区感，包括一个提供360度全景的社区中心。“Highline 365”是一条长达365米的环保高架步道，设有慢跑道以及全年开放的花园，为居民和当地人提供便利。三星物产公司还计划在汉南洞-4住宅区内建设五个公园，总面积达33,000平方米，相当于首尔市政厅草坪面积的五倍以上，为居民提供大量绿色空间。

Hannamdong-4 Residences will also transform urban living through expansive spaces and lush landscaping. Shared spaces are designed to foster a sense of community, even in a densely populated urban environment, including a community centre that will offer 360-degree panoramic views. ‘Highline 365’ is set to be a 365-meter-long eco-friendly elevated walkway featuring jogging tracks and year-round gardens for residents and locals alike. Samsung C&T Corporation also plans to establish five parks across Hannamdong-4 Residences, covering a total area of 33,000 square meters, providing green spaces more than five times the size of the Seoul City Hall lawn.

绿色为核心

Green to the core

UNStudio的设计将可持续性作为核心理念，通过无缝整合环保功能，在保护环境的同时提升生活质量。绿色露台不仅改善空气质量，还促进了生物多样性；同时，先进的水资源管理系统（包括雨水收集和透水铺装）最大限度地减少开发项目对环境的影响。节能技术、太阳能板和可再生能源解决方案进一步降低了碳足迹，在汉江与南山之间建立了和谐的生态联系。这些设计措施保护了该地区独特的自然景观，为居民创造了更健康、更可持续的生活环境。

UNStudio’s design places sustainability at its heart, seamlessly integrating features that protect the environment while enhancing quality of life. Green terraces not only improve air quality but also promote biodiversity, while advanced water management systems, including rainwater harvesting and permeable paving, work to minimise the development’s environmental impact. Energy-efficient technologies, solar panels and renewable energy solutions further reduce the carbon footprint, fostering a harmonious ecological connection between the Han River and Namsan. These design measures safeguard the area’s distinctive landscape, creating a healthier and more sustainable living environment for residents.
