The long-awaited unveiling of ‘Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace,’ located in the unrivaled area of Cheongdam, has captured significant attention. This complex is designed as a vertical forest, a futuristic architectural concept that promotes the coexistence of nature and the city, and is expected to lead the domestic high-end residential trend.
The vertical forest, which pursues harmony with nature, has already established itself as a global trend. A representative example is the ‘Bosco Verticale’ built in Milan, Italy, and many others have been constructed in overseas locations such as Lausanne, Switzerland (La Tour des Cedres), Brisbane, Australia (Urban Forest), and the Netherlands (Hawthorn Tower). These buildings serve as regional landmarks and luxury residences chosen by many affluent individuals.
Lucia Holdings, a specialist developer in high-end real estate, has applied this vertical forest concept domestically for the first time in ‘Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace.’ They have designed a second-generation vertical forest that surpasses the first generation, allowing more nature to flow into the interior spaces.
Nature permeates throughout ‘Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace.’ Individual terraces and private gardens that connect the inside and outside of the homes allow residents to experience the changing seasons, while the interior spaces are designed with natural elements rather than artificial ones, offering a comfortable and refreshing natural experience.
Additionally, the rooftop space on the top floor features an infinity pool that creates a horizon line blending with the Han River, along with a private lounge where nature coexists, enabling residents to enjoy a unique lifestyle unlike any other.
The complex’s design also emphasizes privacy and improved views. The first to third floors are allocated for neighborhood facilities, with increased ceiling heights so that the residential fourth floor reaches approximately the height of a typical sixth floor in an apartment building, securing privacy for the lower floors while enhancing openness.
The interior layout adopts an LDK structure to maximize openness and allows customization to secure diversity as personalized spaces for each individual. Kitchen furniture from Italian high-end brands such as Dada and Valcucine can be selected free of charge, and luxury bathroom products from globally leading brands like Armani & Roca, Toto, and Axor will be installed in the bathrooms.
A sales representative stated, “Many of the top 0.01% of affluent individuals who recognize the value of Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace have visited the gallery and praised it as a differentiated residential complex harmonizing with nature.” They added, “Especially, the finishing materials and interiors befitting the highest level of high-end residences have attracted great interest, making it difficult to secure viewing reservations.”
Since its grand opening, ‘Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace’ has continuously attracted wealthy visitors. It is located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Dosan-daero). The complex consists of a total of 45 units: 25 residential units (contract area 257?452㎡) in a building from six basement floors to 20 floors above ground, and 20 officetel units (contract area 179?223㎡).
Meanwhile, Lucia Holdings has created a unit within the Lucia Gallery so that customers can directly experience the residential spaces of ‘Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace.’ The Lucia Gallery is located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (near the POSCO intersection) and operates by appointment only.
