The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is causing a rise in global average temper-atures, and South Korea is experiencing severe climate change across the country. This phenomenon is not merely characterised by elevated temperatures and humidity; it has also resulted in the occurrence of intense precipitation events, commonly referred to as heavy downpours. Recently, terms such as‘goblin rain’and ‘stealth rain’ have emerged, underscoring the pressing necessity for measures to address the associated damages. Thus, this study aims to draw insights and spatial design strategies for addressing flooding by focusing on the specific plans of a design proposal established in the Hannover region of Germany. As urbanization progresses, the incidence of heavy rainfall is likely to remain a significant phenomenon. In particular, by integrating with various fields to create new spaces, it is possible to promote sustainability at the community level within spatial design, ranging from interiors to urban spaces. This approach facilitates the development of resilience in response to emergencies, thereby enabling the anticipation of diverse design plans and outcomes. In light of the pressing need to confront the profound climate crisis that confronts modern society, the processes and outcomes of this design can serve as a reference for various cities in Korea, offering promising design plans and results.
