Hyundai Engineering announced on May 22 that it has proposed a 'Private Life' concept for the Apgujeong District 5, designed to allow residents to utilize community facilities in a separate space.

Hyundai explained that to enhance residents' privacy, the pathways connecting the complex, buildings, and units are referred to as 'Private Sequence,' effectively isolating them from outside visitors.

To access resident-only facilities, individuals must first pass through the 'Timeless Gate,' the entrance to the building. The pathways leading to the units feature amenities such as the Heritage Garden (individual gardens and water features), Signature Gallery (private gallery), Concierge Lobby (hotel-style lobby), and Hidden Botanic (a second-floor sky garden), all separated from external access.

Privacy considerations extend to vertical circulation as well. Each line is designed with one elevator, and there are dedicated drop-off zones and private elevator halls for each building.

In addition to open spaces, community areas operated by reservation are available in the basement of each building. These include personal healing saunas, private golf studios, personal workrooms, and private gyms and Pilates studios, allowing residents to focus on exercise, relaxation, and work without disturbances.

Private studios are also offered, equipped with heating, ventilation, and security systems, designed to accommodate various lifestyles such as personal libraries, hobby spaces, and private offices.

Furthermore, the proposal includes hotel-style concierge services in collaboration with The Plaza Hotel, as well as personal wealth management lounges, senior care centers, and premium healthcare lounges. The aim is to minimize external movement, enabling residents to manage their assets and health, and access concierge services within the complex. The senior care and healthcare services will be supported by a professional operating system to help residents maintain a healthier and more stable daily life.

A Hyundai Engineering representative stated, “We focused not only on adding luxury facilities to Apgujeong District 5 but also on how meticulously we can protect residents' personal spaces and daily lives. We propose a new residential direction that enhances privacy alongside the symbolism and premium nature of 'Apgujeong Hyundai.'”

Meanwhile, Apgujeong District 5 will be rebuilt through the reconstruction of Hanyang Apartments 1 and 2, consisting of six underground floors and 68 above-ground floors, with eight buildings and a total of 1,397 units. The reconstruction association is set to hold a general meeting on May 30 to select the construction company, deciding between Hyundai Engineering and DL E&C. The estimated construction cost is approximately 1.5 trillion won.
