ODA’s new skyscraper in Seoul has a sculptural rooftop garden

The building will feature a large structural sculpture, resembling a terrarium.

Founded in New York in 2007 by Eran Chen, ODA has designed a very distinctive skyscraper for Seoul, South Korea.

Located in the Gangnam district, the building houses a breathtaking terrace. However, instead of being on the top floor, the 45th, this suspended garden that gives the project its name – Terrarium Cheong-Dam – is in the middle of the structure, appearing as a large sculptural terrarium. It responds to the city’s desire to expand its public domain while creating a more engaging environment.

The 200-meter-tall skyscraper will host offices and luxury residences, while its spacious two-story base will contain commercial spaces and a private club. Here, too, a garden will emerge, with water features, sculptures, and exhibition spaces, accessible from various entry points. ODA is also constructing a similar skyscraper in Seattle, US.

A residence in Gardone Riviera, on Lake Garda, redefines the concept of elegance. Thanks to the Isotec Parete insulating system by Brianza Plastica, the villa achieves an A4 energy rating, combining smart construction and design in architecture that blends seamlessly with the landscape.
