Here are H I_forest and H Auto Zone, first introduced in the Gimpo Hillstate River City

Since 2018, Hyundai E&C has been introducing the annual H series, a living product that realizes ‘a house that the customer dreams of living.’ There were H Clean Entrance, which eliminated outside contaminants at the entrance, H Second Living, which turned kitchen, a place just for cooking, into a space for all family members, H Bike, a sharing electronic bike for the residents’ convenient mobility, etc.; innovative items that fit the living trend were developed and applied to many Hyundai E&C Hillstate and The H complexes. This time Gimpo Hillstate River City has the new H series; they are H I_forest and H Auto Zone. What functions will they convenience the lives of their residents? We visited the place in person.

With Clean α, H I_forest is Free from Microdust

H I_forest made use of birch trees and is equipped with an air purification system; it’s clean and safe.

H I_forest is an indoor playground for kids. With the air purification facility (oxygen maker & phytoncide sprayer) and birch tree material, which maintains fresh indoor air quality, children can run around without worrying about the microdust. The interior of H I_forest was designed with yellow and green, colors that represent Hyundai E&C. It represents the idea of young sprouts growing up to become a forest. Play facilities include a slide shaped like a log, tables shaped like a mushroom, the ever so popular ball pool, etc. The overall design is round and curvy, giving off the safe and liberal feeling. It was designed so that the children could develop their sense of creativity while imagining they were climbing trees and rolling on the hills. The sink and toilet in the playground bathroom were also installed in consideration of the children’s height while the H I_forest floor was made of cushion material to prevent any unexpected injuries.

Playground Fun for Both Adults and Children

There is a cafe for moms as well as a children’s library.

There is a hanging out place for adults in the H I_forest as well. A cafe for moms is in place where they can enjoy tea and dessert; they can even take care of their kids’ snacks here. Around the entrance, there is a children’s library where they can read books as well as a nursing area. So here they can safely take care of their kids and naturally communicate with the other residents. As it is difficult to be outside these days, present your kids with healthy, fun times in the H I_forest.

Dry Car Wash at a Parking Lot Instead of a Self Car Wash

H Auto Zone is a self dry car wash space for simple maintenance in the complex.

Wouldn’t it be super convenient to be able to do a simple dry car wash within your apartment complex? H Auto Zone is a self dry car wash space in the underground parking lot which allows you to also take care of simple maintenance and tuning. It is a great news for people who had to go to a self car wash when they wanted to clean out their vehicle’s interior often but couldn’t due to the lack of space to open both doors wide. H Auto Zone was created to enhance the residents’ parking lot satisfaction level. Hyundai E&C’s survey for Hillstate residents showed that a parking lot was the most important place, but its satisfaction level was low. When asked what was needed in their parking lot, there were opinions about unmanned package boxes as well as vacuum cleaners for car washing purposes.

It may seem unfamiliar to create a space inside the underground parking lot, but in many other countries there are already cases of using the underground parking lot for other purposes. In the Sony building underground parking lot located in Ginja, Japan, a new commercial space opened up, and a parking lot in Breda, a southwestern city in Netherlands, displays a new series of posters designed by international graphic designers every 3 months in the entrance. You can admire artworks in the parking lot. Taking such cases into consideration, Hyundai E&C also decided to create a new space in the underground parking lot, and they came up with the dry car wash place, H Auto Zone.

Larger than a Self Car Wash; Also Allows Adjusting Air Pressure

H Auto Zone secured large space in the underground parking lot within the complex to complement the lack of automobile management space in apartments. It’s even larger than a self car wash. You can open both doors of your car, and there’s even a car wash vacuum cleaner to conveniently clean the inside of your car, by getting rid of dust in the car, etc. The phytoncide sprayer also assures antibacterial and deodorization effect as well. You can take detailed care of your car without visiting a professional car wash by getting rid of smell inside the car, cleaning the seat, etc.

You can check your tires’ air pressure as well.

There’s even a tire air pressure injector; you can check the tire air pressure and adjust it. Simple tuning work is also allowed, which saves time and cost for the users. Thanks to smart home technology, you can take care of recognizing the current usage status as well as reservation with the H Auto Zone app on your phone. Enjoy a leisurely car life in your underground parking lot with simple dry car wash.

So, we’ve looked into the H I_forest and H Auto Zone inside the complex. H series definitely seems like it will enhance and enrich the residents’ lives. Recently they have introduced H Smile & Share, which allows the residents to sell and buy used goods. Hyundai E&C’s innovative, original living ideas will continue to be introduced via H series. Here’s looking forward to the next H series.
