Nurimaru APEC House
Overview:
The name “Nurimaru APEC House” is the combination of the Korean words, “Nuri,” meaning ‘world’ and “maru,” meaning ‘summit’, while APEC stands for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. All together this name represents ‘the house where world leaders gathered and held the APEC meeting.”
Located on Dongbaekseom Island, which is famous for its beautiful landscape with dense camellia and pine trees, the "APEC Norimaru House" has been used as a memorial hall and a prestigious international conference hall since the APEC summit meeting.
Norimaru is a 3-storey building that is a modern expression of "jeongja". It is a pavilion in traditional Korean architectural style. Its roof shape symbolizes the bottom line of Dongbaekseom Island. Its interior design is a visual display of creative Korean traditional culture.
