Samsung C&T's construction division has won the prestigious IDEA Design Award, one of the world's top three design competitions, for its Raemian landscaping projects for the third consecutive year.
On August 20, Samsung C&T announced that its Raemian landscaping received two main awards in the environmental category at the 'IDEA 2026.' The award-winning projects are the 'Wind Library Garden' at Raemian One Perla in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and the 'Blue Forest Garden' at Jamsil Raemian I-Park in Songpa-gu. Both projects received main awards, reaffirming the competitive edge of Raemian's landscaping design.
The IDEA Design Award is co-hosted by the Industrial Designers Society of America and BusinessWeek, making it the most prestigious design competition in North America. It is considered one of the top three design awards globally, alongside Germany's Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award.
The award-winning Wind Library Garden is an outdoor library garden that incorporates the traditional Korean landscaping concept of 'Chagyeong.' Developed in conjunction with a small library, it draws in the surrounding nature and landscape, allowing residents to enjoy a leisurely life with books.
The Blue Forest Garden features a streamlined tea house and a viewing deck, designed to offer different panoramic views from four locations, enabling residents to experience changing landscapes based on their movement and position.
In 2024, Samsung C&T received a main award for the 'Public Walkway' project at Raemian One Bailey. Last year, it won a bronze award for the 'Green Cascade' landscaping facility at the same location. With two landscaping projects receiving main awards this year, Samsung C&T has maintained its record of winning at the IDEA Awards for three consecutive years.
Notably, the landscaping projects have been recognized internationally for their design uniqueness and quality competitiveness, achieving consecutive awards for two years.
As competition among apartment products expands beyond layouts and community features to landscaping and outdoor space experiences, landscaping design has emerged as a differentiating factor for high-end residential brands. Samsung C&T plans to actively leverage its internationally recognized Raemian landscaping design competitiveness in new contract proposals and marketing efforts.
Jang Byeong-yun, Vice President of Samsung C&T's Housing Construction Division, stated, “We will continue to present differentiated landscaping designs that enhance the spatial value of the complex while providing residents with a unique living experience exclusive to Raemian.”
