Architecture

The steel and glass façade and open internal architecture provides an opportunity for the surrounding landscape to enter into the structure, both visually and literally as many stores open out onto the adjacent parks and gardens. Large atriums house many species of plants as well as internal water features and a six story waterfall. “Water flow” is one of the interior aesthetic themes.

D-Cube City’s six acres of parks, plazas, and gardens are spread across the structure’s stepped roofs.During construction, an endangered species of frog, Kaloula borealis was found on the site, and after discovering that the proposed structure’s site was the frogs’ habitat the designers recreated and incorporated a five billion won ecology park into the landscape design as a new habitat.
