Hyundai Premium Outlet SPACE1 Cube

Hyundai Premium Outlet Space 1 was opened in Dasan New Town, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do. It is the first gallery-type outlet in Korea, and adds cultural and artistic elements such as art gallery and park. Its name “SPACE 1” also took the first letter of “Shopping, Play, Art, Culture, Experience” and added “1” with the meaning of one. The overall design direction was also “Everyone’s Holiday”, establishing its identity as “a holiday for everyone”.

One of notable spaces is the symbolic CUBE that connects indoor and outdoor. It creates various expressions and landscapes within the space, where each area overlaps and connects through the design concept “Pairing Cities”. This forms a three-dimensional facade, and provides an interesting spatial sense. Besides, by blurring the brands’ boundaries, it makes visitors experience a variety of moving line connecting shopping areas and rest areas naturally.

The space on the first floor is designed by patternizing external flooring materials as a transfer space that connects outdoor gardens and indoor stores. The outdoor shade structure and CUBE are combined to make the ceiling design look outstanding. Restaurants, bakeries, cafes and lifestyle brands gather together, allowing visitors to experience a bright and vibrant spatial sense. Located on the front side of the first floor, the fine dining “H” restaurant has an open kitchen where visitors can see the cooking process. The design concept “Garden in patio” makes visitors experience eating in an outdoor garden with the stained glass on the ceiling of greenhouse and the plants in the center.
