Hyundai Engineering has received multiple awards at a domestic design competition for its pedestrian spaces and media art facilities applied in apartment complexes. The winning landscape products include a walkway that appears to float and a facility that changes color based on fine dust levels.
On November 12, Hyundai Engineering announced that it won the Grand Prize at the '2026 K-Design Award' and the RED (Innovation Award) at the '24th Korea Color Awards.'
The K-Design Award is an international design competition that selects designs with originality, aesthetics, and practicality across various fields, including product, space, and communication design.
Hyundai Engineering received the Grand Prize in the space design category for its landscape product 'Floating Way.' This top honor is awarded to the top 0.1% of all entries.
Floating Way is a pedestrian space implemented in 'Hillstate Pyeongtaek Hwayang.' It features a design that contrasts the emptiness and density of space, reflecting the principles of Eastern painting known as 'Soso Milmil' (疏疏密密).
The design includes a skywalk that appears to float, intersecting with grassy plazas and forests. Residents can enjoy the landscape from various heights and angles while walking along the path.
At the 24th Korea Color Awards, the media art facility 'Color Sphere' received the RED (Innovation Award).
Organized by the Korean Color Association, the Korea Color Awards evaluate creativity, public utility, and social contribution in color usage across various fields, including landscape, architecture, interior design, and visual media. The RED award is given to works that present new value through innovative color application.
Color Sphere is applied in the landscape space of 'Hillstate Cheongdam Central.' This media art facility combines light, color, and sound, providing a scenic experience while also delivering living information to residents.
The facility's colors change according to fine dust levels, allowing residents to intuitively check air quality. It also offers seasonal media art content, enhancing the enjoyment of the landscape space within the complex.
Hyundai Engineering also received a bronze award at the '2026 Good Design Award' announced on November 10 for its 'Universal Flow Shower Solution,' which combines safety handles, showerheads, and chairs.
A representative from Hyundai Engineering stated, "This award reflects not only the aesthetic design but also the consideration of convenience for residents in terms of movement, relaxation, and accessing living information. We will continue to enhance customer satisfaction through designs that carefully consider daily life and user experiences, contributing to a better quality of life."
