I am so grateful to Rob for his attention to even the smallest detail. I am always impressed with every job and bit of advice he shares. He has attended to some bizarre problems on my property, and he does so with incredible competency, efficiency, and a bit of humor. He ALWAYS answers his phone or returns calls quickly. One, Rob Massengale, has worked long and hard for us. But you also have exceptional men who really go above and beyond. Your men and women who work in my neighborhood (Bateleur) are always thorough and polite, and we are all grateful for their hard work, winter and summer.
Right around the residential buildings high bamboos create exciting passages.“Please allow me to take a minute of your time to praise your staff. Under the tree layer there are several planting layers offering scale, colour and texture in the landscape. The vegetation has a rich build-up of different layers. The running track is loved by the residents and not used by joggers only. An extensive network of paths and jogging trails, linking all the apartment buildings, allow for a range of different walks or runs to be experienced. In the centre of the block dense plantings of a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs create a rich, forest like atmosphere: a nature retreat.

On the outside a series of gardens have specific program, such as fitness and games. Inside the block is are central open spaces with facilities for play and stay. For example: the playground with the folded edges is made out of a rusty red and orange rubber, matching the dominant of the colours that make op the facades on the inside of the super block. The facades have colour gradients that are echoed in the landscape: in planting and in paving. The folded topography, generating conditions for play in the forest playground, is illustrative for the possibilities that the pleads offer in the landscape. The pattern creates long lines of sight diagonally through the landscape. Converging and diverging forms unify the spaces within the landscape, both horizontally and vertically. The design is inspired by pleats in fashion, being an import industry in Daegu, and translated into a communal design language for facade patterns and forms in the landscape. The design language and colour scheme of the facades and the landscape design are in tune. The architecture, designed by UNStudio, is noticeable for the expressive colour scheme. The structure of the parking basement allows for the planting of mature trees throughout the site, and this opportunity is fully utilized. This results in a car-free landscape, that only incidentally needs to be accessed by moving trucks garbage collection.

It is made on a double storey car park, covering the full extent of the site. The landscape is technically a roof garden. These facilities have a relationship with the landscape, through the location on the ground floor or connected through a ‘sunken garden’ when situated on the underground parking level. The apartments are serviced with a broad pallet of community facilities: library, nursery, senior citizen centre, community centre and communal sports and fitness facilities. This project for instance has a floor to area ratio of 280%. The rapid urbanisation and the limited non-mountainous area in South Korea results in dense multi-storey apartment complexes. The landscape design combines the secure atmosphere of a secluded landscape and the liveliness that the integrated sports, play and recreation facilities offer.ĭaegu is a growing city with milder climatic conditions than Seoul. The site is publicly accessible, but Korean culture is such that it is mainly used by residents.
In Daegu, the third largest city of South Korea, a lush and green landscape is created for the residents of the 1,300 apartments (first phase).
