Seoul has no shortage of shops, but shopaholics are always looking for that unique experience, unlike any other. Common Ground is one such location in Seoul, where you can get such experience. It is the world’s largest shopping mall that is entirely made from shipping containers. The pop-up mall is built using 200 containers that can be modified and rearranged in any number of configurations.

Common Ground

Not only is the Common Ground unique architecturally, so are the shops that are in the containers. Shoppers can find a unique assortment of new designers, mid-sized shops, and other editorial stores. It is located in Seoul’s Gwangjin District.

Common Ground Architecture

The cool setup of architecture is designed by a local firm Urbantainer. It started as an experimental project that was initiated to revitalize an available lot in the middle of the capital.

The sprawling pop-up mall is spread over 5,400-square-meter. Each of the 200 containers is painted in an eye-catching bright blue, and they are stacked into a three-story structure. It houses seventy stores, twenty restaurants, and a third-floor roof terrace. Common Ground redefines the conventions of retail platforms by reinterpreting the role of culture and focusing on connecting people for the sake of creating meaningful value for all involved.

It is one of Seoul’s best spot for taking a picture for your Instagram feed!

Common Ground

Common Ground has four main spaces – MARKET HALL, STREET MARKET, TERRACE MARKET, and MARKET GROUND.

STREET MARKET draws inspiration from an alley market and keeps the texture of the container intact as much as possible. MARKET HALL capitalizes on trusses with strong architectural functions. It emphasizes the verticality of the stacked container modules and the frames between containers. These stores are popular online and include 26 boutique brands. TERRACE MARKET holds food and beverage shops of small brands from the hip areas of Seoul. MARKET GROUND in the outdoor area between STREET MARKET and MARKET HALL has a place for food trucks and some famous restaurants. The central square, framed by containers, hosts weekend markets, exhibitions, and performances.

Address: 200 Achasan-ro, Jayang 4(sa)-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul

Common Ground is a fashion mall constructed of shipping containers. Since its establishment in 2015, a few other shipping container stores or cafes have popped up around Seoul, such as Understand Avenue near Seoul Forest in 2017. I visited this place in 2017 with a Hong Kong friend visiting, but hadn't been back until this winter. I like that you can see the cargo containers from the train when you go past on the subway. Have you ever visited Common Ground? What is your favorite store or restaurant there? @commonground.1st #커먼그라운드 #건대입구 #밤산책 #밤하늘 #광진구 #쇼핑스타그램 #건대데이트 #컨대카페 #성수동맛집 #건대핫플 #밤시장 #패션그램 #겨울하늘 #commonground #konkukuniversity #magicalgirlguidetoseoul #seoulshopping #seoulkorea #seoultravel #seoulcity #seoulstagram #instaseoul #instakorea #instatravel #seoulfashion #seoulstreet #konkuk #commongroundseoul #streetartglobe #koreanstyle
