Located in Suyeong-gu, Busan, DOMOHEON (도모헌) is a modern cultural facility that offers visitors a welcoming place to relax and enjoy leisure activities. Originally serving as the official residence of the Busan Mayor, this former political site was reimagined into the DOMOHEON cultural space and opened to the public in September 2024.
In the past, the residence was often referred to as the local Cheong Wa Dae—a term referencing South Korea's executive presidential office—giving it an authoritative reputation. Following a complete remodeling, the property has been transformed into an open venue where international travelers and local residents can comfortably gather.
Highlights of the DOMOHEON Cultural Space
The establishment incorporates a variety of convenience and community facilities. Inside, visitors can make use of a cultural space, shared office, café, lecture hall, and meeting room.
The outdoor area features a living garden, which is notable as the very first living garden in Busan. This landscaped setting gives guests an ideal environment to take a peaceful walk and enjoy nature alongside the renovated architecture.
