The construction of flats for 10 000 families in the Songsin and Songhwa area and the Pothong Riverside Terraced Houses District, which began last year according to the grand plan of the Workers’ Party of Korea for the construction of the capital, was completed and they were inaugurated in April this year.
A new street for the people symbolizing the rejuvenation and civilization in the era of the Workers’ Party, Songhwa Street was built magnificently as the eastern gateway to Pyongyang, embracing modern and stylish high-rise apartment houses, public buildings, service networks, a circular footbridge, a resting park, ornamental structures, artificial ponds and falls and resting places in an area covering dozens of hectares.
The street creates an artistic harmony while ensuring an elaborate mutual combination of high-rise apartment houses with the beauty of various curved lines and service buildings in unique styles with the sky-high 80-storey apartment house as the axis.
The new and distinctive character of it is the formative artistic combination of the buildings that forms groups with service buildings on the ground floor and apartment houses behind them and links them all with the connecting corridor.
In particular, the circular footbridge, which was built to fully provide practicability and convenience on the principle of giving absolute priority to the convenience of the people and to which a service network is added, crosses the broad avenue, conveniently linking the Songsin and Songhwa area.
The Pothong Riverside Terraced Houses District sprang up at the best place in the heart of the capital.
Low- and multi-storey apartment houses for 800 families are distributed to go well with the surrounding environment, highlighting the characteristic features of the styles of terraced houses and elements of their elevation composition.
Trees and flowering shrubs of good species, beautiful flowers and stones of ornamental value are harmoniously combined to add features to natural landscape and scenery of the luxurious housing district.
In a word, the terraced houses district is an excellent standard and model of housing district in which buildings and nature form a perfect harmony and the space of life and ecology are organically and scientifically distributed while maintaining the natural environment and the artistic value, practicability and convenience are provided at the top level.
The construction of houses for 10 000 families in the Hwasong area, the second project for hitting the prospective housing development goal in Pyongyang, has mostly finished, just nearing completion.
The project is nearly three times as large as that of Songhwa Street in the building area.
At present, construction is going on for hundreds of blocks of apartment houses and public and service buildings along with the project for revetting the banks of the Hapjang River extending for thousands of metres.
Priority is given to the plane structure and distribution of blocks to provide convenience to the people’s living over the elevation composition by learning lessons from the experience in the construction of houses for 10 000 families in the Songsin and Songhwa area and architectural styles have also been renewed.
