20 days and counting.


New old growth.


Once the site of a horse racing track, the small peninsula which hosts Seoul Forest is now one of the largest green spaces in Seoul. Until recently, the neighborhood surrounding the park consisted of mainly three and four story apartment buildings, which was once the common dwelling in the city. Naturally, the inception of Seoul Forest increased property values and demand in the vicinity. As a result, over the past year, two significant changes to the skyline have grown into view next to the park; luxury apartments. These behemouths are visible from halfway across the city, because there are no competing structures, and the river provides an obstructionless view. It's easy to imagine the view from the top is stunning.
