Haeundae I Park, Residential skyscraper complex in Haeundae District, South Korea
Haeundae I'Park is a mixed-use complex of five buildings in the Marine City area of U-dong, Haeundae District, Busan. It has three residential towers—Tower 1 (66 floors), Tower 2 (72 floors, 298 m), and Tower 3 (46 floors)—plus two commercial buildings of 3 and 9 floors, totaling 1,631 apartments. Daniel Libeskind's Studio designed the curved facades, which abstract waves, camellia petals, sails, and eaves.
Construction of this complex began in 2007 and finished in 2011, marking an important expansion of Busan's urban landscape. The project reflects South Korea's development of modern residential architecture during that era.
Libeskind shaped the towers' curved facades after Haeundae's waves, the camellia, Busan's emblem, sails and roof eaves. The three residential towers follow soft curves in the master plan, with landscaping and open space between them. The neighbouring Park Hyatt Busan, also his design, echoes the complex. The towers appear in the films Black Panther, Real and Along with the Gods, and in the drama The King: Eternal Monarch.
The complex faces the Suyeong Bay yacht marina, South Korea's largest, on the Marine City waterfront. The site lies in U-dong, Haeundae District, near Haeundae Beach, Dongbaek Island and the Nurimaru APEC House area. Visitors reach it by bus or metro; the surrounding waterfront promenades are walkable.
The structure ranks among the eight tallest in the country and showcases Daniel Libeskind's innovative postmodern architectural design. These design principles shape the appearance of the complex and set it apart from other modern towers in the region.
