The Reserve at Oak Valley, Wonju, South Korea

Adjacent to the existing Hansol Development destination resort Oak Valley in South Korea, The Reserve at Oak Valley offers a paradigm shift in the planning and design of golf communities within Korea.  Working with Tom Fazio  to bring their world-class golf brand to Asia for the first time, VITA carefully blended the golf experience into the dramatic natural site.  We established three core planning principles that include: the natural landscape as a legacy,  the Community “as” art, and a contemporary community with traditional Korean sensibilities. Guided by these principles, the plan is a uniquely Korean interpretation of modern homes ranging from multifamily ten-story towers to single family estate homes.  The resulting collaborative efforts of the VITA and Fazio teams have been advanced into the project’s environmental and entitlement processes.
