Olson Kundig worked closely with the design team from Shinsegae and artist Do-Ho Suh to create a “secret garden” for children and families in Uijeongbu, a city near Seoul, South Korea. Located on the roof of a 9-story department store, this 20,000 square-foot active play area and lush garden is an oasis of trees, plants and flowers comprised exclusively of native species from South Korea.
