Foster + Partners, led by Norman Foster, and PWP, the firm of landscape architect Peter Walker, will participate in the residential complex project. Norman Foster is renowned for works such as the British Museum in the UK and 270 Park Avenue in the United States, while Peter Walker has led projects including the 9/11 Memorial Park in the U.S. and the landscaping at Singapore Changi Airport.

Samsung C&T utilized a landscape analysis solution from Foster + Partners to derive the building layout plan and adopted elevated podiums reaching up to 15 meters, enabling even residents on lower floors to enjoy unobstructed views of the Han River. The company also proposed "rounded-corner IMAX windows" by eliminating living room pillars and using frameless wide windows, which would provide each household with an average 20.5-meter, 270-degree panoramic Han River view. Centered around a large space with a column span of 25 meters and a maximum height of 16.5 meters, the residential complex will feature a community with 105 facilities including fitness centers, private golf, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Lim Cheol-jin, Head of Samsung C&T's Housing Sales Division, stated, "With proven construction capabilities and overwhelming execution ability, we will achieve the fastest move-in timeline for Apgujeong and transform the Apgujeong District 4 complex into a global landmark."
