It is an inviting public getaway, where citizens and visitors can interact with diverse activities, and feel harmonized with the surrounding city and its natural landscape. Nodeul Island is divided into two primary levels: the island's original ground level provides various creative and cultural venues, while the upper-level platform (aligned with the existing bridge) provides flexible public plazas and viewing decks. There are offices, shops, galleries, a bookstore, a multi-purpose hall, and a 450-person performance hall—all within a village setting, where a small community of different programs and user groups harmoniously coexist.

The island’s landscape also provides visitors with a park-like experience, full of spontaneous social interactions. This new, dynamic, community-driven typology creates opportunities for both frequent and first-time visitors, instantly creating a place filled with historical value and limitless potential. Nodeul Island's existing forest has been restored with a series of sustainable strategies developed through multi-disciplinary collaborations. A new eco-habitat, for endangered species found on the island, is now integrated into the existing forest with viewing decks.

Removing decaying plants, and improving the existing vegetation, has allowed for a new public promenade to be constructed along the lower area of the island. Its artificial concrete block terraces, and river shore, have also been upgraded with a series of gardens, reinvigorating the history of the island. Nodeul Island has now been given back to the city. This once-forgotten island has been transformed into a beloved public park, and a favorite cultural venue. As the island continues to transform for Seoul’s citizens and visitors, it encourages repeat visits, as it begins its new chapter in the city's history.
