Shelter, along with food and clothing, is a fundamental human need. Among these, ‘shelter,’ or a place to live, plays a pivotal role in determining one’s quality of life. Recognizing this, HYOSUNG is committed to building homes that provide comfortable living environments. With innovative construction techniques and high-quality materials, the company is shaping sustainable housing for the future, offering smart living spaces that enhance the quality of life.

HYOSUNG Harrington: Elevating Residential Living Quality

In 2013, HYOSUNG Construction PU (Performance Unit) launched the integrated real estate brand "Hyosung Harrington." The name "Harrington" translates to “SETTLEMENT ON STONY GROUND,” symbolizing homes built on solid foundations. It represents HYOSUNG’s commitment to creating comfortable and cozy living spaces. Branding apartments as Harrington Place, mixed-use residential and office-tels as Harrington Tower, luxury villas as Harrington Court, and multi-purpose complexes as Harrington Square, HYOSUNG has successfully addressed diverse customer needs through its different construction projects. Among these, Harrington Place stands out for offering a residential environment that combines practicality and convenience, leveraging innovative construction technology.

Interior Design that Creates a Healthy Home

The use of harmful materials in building interiors can cause health issues such as “sick building syndrome" or conditions like atopic dermatitis. To address this concern, the importance of eco-friendly interior design is being emphasized more than ever. A healthy living environment not only enhances the quality of life but also ensures a safer space for children and those with weaker immune systems. 

Harrington Place provides safe and eco-friendly furniture using only E0-rated wood, which has low formaldehyde emissions. Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly found in building materials and furniture that can cause various health issues, including weakened immune systems, respiratory problems, and allergies. Wood is classified into four levels based on formaldehyde emissions: SE0, E0, E1, and E2. The lower the emission, the higher the rating, with SE0 being the closest to the safest and most eco-friendly, posing minimal risk to human health and lessening the likelihood of skin or respiratory issues.

The Ministry of Environment defines furniture materials rated E0 or higher as 'eco-friendly.' Harrington Place exclusively uses E0-rated wood and goes a step further by applying eco-friendly products to finishes as well. Since wallpaper and flooring come into close contact with people just like the furniture, HYOSUNG makes particular effort to use eco-friendly materials for these finishes as well, ensuring a positive impact on residents' health.

Efficient Energy Management System

With rising costs and utility bills, managing energy efficiently has become increasingly important. Using smart devices for remote control and purchasing high energy-efficiency products can help reduce energy consumption.

HYOSUNG Harrington Place reduces electricity bills by installing energy-efficient LED lighting in all units. LED lights last longer and are more energy-efficient compared to traditional bulbs. Residents of Harrington Place Dasan Park, Harrington Place Jinsa, and Harrington Place Techno Polis, where LED lighting is installed, benefit from lower management fees.

Additionally, HYOSUNG Harrington Place offers the Smart Harrington app, which allows residents to monitor and control indoor home network devices and IoT appliances from their smartphones. This app makes it easy to manage heating, lighting, and temperature, preventing unnecessary energy use. It even manages ventilation and parking control, enhancing residents' convenience. In addition, the Smart Harrington app has been recognized for its user-friendly design and outstanding features, winning the Construction & Interior category at the 12th Smart App Awards.

Clean Ventilation System for Comfortable Indoor Air

Whether cooking smelly foods at home or on days with high levels of fine dust, maintaining clean air is essential. HYOSUNG Harrington Place offers a clean ventilation system to ensure a pleasant indoor environment. The clean ventilation units installed in utility rooms or outdoor equipment rooms expel contaminated air and bring in fresh, filtered air from outside. The duct system, which connects all spaces including the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms, ensures that indoor air remains consistently fresh. Additionally, the kitchen hood effectively manages odors and harmful substances, further enhancing indoor cleanliness.

POKETON Water Meters: No Worries About Freezing

Freezing of water meters due to winter cold waves is a common issue. To address this problem, Harrington Place has introduced POKETON water meters, showcasing HYOSUNG’s advanced technology.

POKETONE is a groundbreaking new material developed by Hyosung Chemical, becoming the first to be commercialized globally. This engineering plastic is free of harmful substances and is safe for humans. It boasts excellent chemical resistance, impact resistance, and wear resistance. Notably, its thermal conductivity is about 1/200th that of the brass traditionally used in water meters, making it highly resistant to freezing. In tests, while brass water meters froze within 53 minutes at -20°C, POKETONE meters withstood the cold for 130 minutes, demonstrating their superior performance.

Thanks to these impressive capabilities, since the introduction of POKETONE water meters to Harrington Place in 2016, there have been no freezing incidents. Even during severe winter cold waves, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing HYOSUNG’s technology enhances their quality of life.

Housing is more than just a place to sleep and live; it is a crucial element that defines our quality of life. A safe and comfortable home positively impacts both physical and mental health, playing a key role in providing family happiness and stability. In modern society, as living environments evolve to prioritize sustainability, they have become essential for maintaining a healthy and pleasant lifestyle. Reflecting the importance of housing, HYOSUNG proposes smart and comfortable environments through differentiated technology and thoughtful design that considers the environment.
