Songdo First World, Residential tower in Songdo, South Korea.

The First World Tower features four distinct courtyard communities, with each section divided into three neighborhoods accommodating 200 households within its structure.

Construction of this architectural complex began in 2009 as part of the Songdo International Business District development on land reclaimed from the sea.

The tower design incorporates traditional Korean architectural elements, including circulation patterns found in palace gardens and varying directional axes.

With 2,654 residential units across 344,000 square meters, First World Tower connects to Incheon and Seoul through an integrated network of buses and subways.

The structure reduces the perception of height through discontinuous surface lines and large apertures that translate monumental aspects to human scale.
