Horse Park Yeungcheon Design Award Honorable project by the idea of Elevated Elf Land

The Elevated Elf Land is a nature friendly theme park for Human and Horse for the expression of new identity of Horse Park in Korea. Our intention on its purposeful driven Park is to create a unique development to attract family groups rather than individual gamblers who are from the town in local, other cities and even overseas. Thus, we believe the bringing the theme into the race environment with physically elevated platform to preserve nature and its environment for horse and people will change the Korean's paradigm on horse race culture which is "Gamble" into family oriented theme horse race.Show more

The existing site has its various height differences on each mountain from 25m to 45m, as their differences make the site very much unique as they are. Placing the horse track on its mountainous site, the track smoothly landed on the site by creating higher level to approach to the site from the parking area as naturally elevated land so as to be a unique identity of Let’s Run Horse Park which is a unique to its only location in Yeoungchen.
Besides its structural form of the park, we aim the shift of paradigm by introduction of the Elf Land which is a new story of Horse Park Yeoungchen. We intend iconic landmark castle that will consist of 6 different tribes who are appeared mainly in the Lord of the Ring, one of famous fantasy movies. Its story is about horse race game to be held by one of tribes, the Elf who invites 5 other tribes for the horse race game in her land. In this form, private gamble sports of horse racing will become family oriented game. From the entry of the theme park to utilization of each function on the site is related function to visitors’ benefits on uses of facilities in the theme park.
