A three-dimensional, maze-like public garden opened for the 2024 International Garden Show in Seoul

The project features a 250m² submerged lounge-like space designed to immerse visitors in a 360-degree natural experience within Ttuksom Han River Park, one of Seoul’s busiest recreational areas.

The three-dimensional naturalistic garden aims to magnify public engagement and offer a serene escape from artificial visual overload, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature. The project aspires to be perceived not as a static artifact, but as a characterful terrain that provides three-dimensional guidance for plants to thrive.

The garden is designed with multi-layered, intimate spaces inspired by the spatial structures and interactions observed in the natural world. These principles are applied on a human scale by incorporating perennials and grasses that exhibit multi-year variations, changing in colors, textures, and structures.

Through continuous interaction across five layers spanning 400 meters, the design aims to evoke a symbiotic relationship between nature and artificiality, blending seamlessly with the existing landscape.
