The Seoul Twin Eye Ferris wheel offers a panoramic view of Seoul and is set to be the first ever of its kind.
UNStudio, in collaboration with Arup and local firm Heerim Architecture, designed the Seoul Twin Eye, a unique Ferris wheel with two intersecting rings.

The new Peace Park Wheel, part of the Mayor’s vision for ‘Han River with a Thousand Sunsets’ in Sangam World Cup Park, Seoul, is a landmark project initiated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Standing at 180 meters, the wheel will have 64 capsules, each carrying 20-25 people. With a capacity to accommodate over 1,400 riders simultaneously, it nearly doubles the London Eye’s capacity.

The wheel will be mounted on a 40-meter-high cultural complex, housing an exhibition space, performance hall, and various retail and food outlets.

Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect of UNStudio, said:
“Located in the heart of the city, this spokeless design references Korea’s boundless ambition for innovation and spirit of progress, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with a timeless appreciation for stability and beauty.”
The Seoul Twin Eye is expected to be completed in 2028.
