2008 - 2012

I used to be – well, I believe I am still – a music producer (composing and arrangement). I’ve started making music since when I was freshman, which means that I’ve been making music as long as the time I’ve studied and worked in Interior Design field. I really love both music and design, but it is really difficult to do both things at the same time. And I become to have a wondering: is there any way that I can con-nect these two fields? And when I was asked to answer what I want to explore through my design work, silently I answered to my previous question – Yes, I think I can.

I want to explore Music in design. I’m not trying to express music in literal way. There are many common elements that consist the musical structure, such as pitch (melody and harmony), rhythm, dynamics, texture and sequence. I want to explore those elements in my design. For example, there is rhythm in music. What if I pick a musical piece for my inspiration, deconstruct the rhythm in that music score and rearrange them as a design source? It’s going to be a big challenge for me because this is just an idea, and I may be failed to explore music in my spatial design. But if this is what I really want to explore in my design, I want to try it.

What is music? The detailed mechanics of music can be sorted into instruments, notes, scales, rhythm, tempo, chords, harmony, bass and melody. Music “creates emotions, or interacts with the emotions we already feel and, sometimes, it makes us dance.” (Dorrell, 19) Music is known to have mathematical structure, but I think music is also a design work.

Interior design is functionally providing people a place to live, stay or do on their purpose. However, I think it is also designed to create emotions like music. Architecture and interiors creates ‘atmosphere’ – “a beautiful, natural presence thing that move” people “every single time” - as Peter Zumthor said. And it is my one of goal to create a space where moves people’s emotions like music.

IN THE BEGINNINGPublic Bathroom Desing in a Boutique Hotel of TriBeCa100 Hudson St, TriBeCa, New York, NY

My client is the one who has had a big concern about this broken relationship in TriBeCa. He is a famous art director and the owner of huge film industry. He has been living in TriBeCa for his life because his father was the artist and the member of TriBeCa Block Association in 1970s. He knows the history of this town, and he wants to “fill the gap” between the past and the present of TriBeCa.

He bought a building in 100 Hudson Street, and he wants to make a boutique hotel and my job is to design a public bathroom in the lobby. The theme of the hotel is “the origination of TriBeCa - triangle” because he wants people to remember the early 1970s when TriBeCa was firstly formed. That’s why he chose this site because the site block also has a similar triangular shape to the original TriBeCa block. As an art director, the client has a desire to put more colors and characteristics in TriBeCa, so many people can recognize the young artists’ pioneer spirit in 1970s.

RESIDENTIAL REDUXRHYTHMIC MOMENTS IN A RESIDENTIAL SPACE STRATEGY173 Perry St, New York, NY l Architect: Richard Miere

The purpose of the project is to design a residence on the second and third floors at 173 Perry Street in Manhattan (one of the iconic Richard Meier Towers) This project shall focus on the nature of privacy, community and domesticity. Our investigation shall focus on an investigation of the impact of color, tex-ture, and application of materials in the definition of identity and space. This takes on particular relevance in a curtain-glass building.

Residence, in a simple term, refers to home or house - the place where people live or dwell. However, I think a residence is more than just a place to live. Le Corbusier said that “a house is a machine for living in.” And I think a residence is a time which contains the diverse moments. Living also means a time to people. In a residential space, we have the moments in every spatial division - living room, kitchen, dining, chamber, and bathroom. Each space makes diverse moments and those moments are connected to each other and create a time - space.

2011 l Pratt

Concept l Creating a residential space for a Brazilian family which provides rhythmic mooment of Brazilian Bossa Nova music throughout the space.

Antonio Carlos Jobim’s favorite song “Wave” has typical Bossa nova guitar rhythm. It is little bit more complex, but I simplified it to use it as a design source.

Richard Miere’s Building also creates its own rhythm on grid when all the mullions are connected.

There is also a rhythm in client’s usage of the space . This diagram shows the place where family members mostly and leastly use.

STUDIO 212HARMONIC WORK SPACE FOR COMMUNICATION DESIGN FIRM500 Park Avenue, New York, NY l Architect: SOM

We are to design a space for a newly formed branding/strategy agency led by of 3 partners, one each from Fahrenheit 212, 2x4, and Weiden & Kennedy. The primary focus of the office will be communica-tion design (print, web, television, film, and interactive) as well as branding and identity. Clients include corporations, as well as artists and non-profit organizations; a midtown location has been determined to be most convenient.

Team thinking, communication and collaborative participation with clients and among employees is criti-cal to the company. Space planning should take into consideration the following among the many factors impacting the office design: flexibility of workspaces, the need for community as well as privacy, public spaces that reflect the identity and work ethos of the company. Equally critical to your considerations is the desire for the space to reflect current interest in indoor environmental health and the application of sustainable strategies.

HARMONIC MOVEMENTS IN CREATIVE STUDIO SPACE DESIGN

INITIAL CONCEPTUAL IDEAOffice space is “HARMONY.”

1) HARMONY between three partners2) HARMONY between the departments3) HARMONY between workers4) HARMONY with building condition5) HARMONY with grid system6) HARMONY with sustainability

The office should speak one VOICE in a combination of different roles and identi-ties.

DEFINITIONHARMONY derives from Greek “har-monia”, meaning “joint, agreement, concord.” Also it derives from Greek verb, “harmozo”, meaning “to fit to-gether, to join.” In Ancient Greek, the term defined “the combination of con-trasted elements.”

In MUSIC...

HARMONY refers to chords and their construction, chords progression, prin-ciple of connection that governs them. Vertical aspect of music

Counterpoint: Interweaving of melodic lines.

VERTICAL ASPECT / HARMONIC TRIADIn terms of music, Harmony is represented in vertical aspect, while melody is represented in horizontal aspect.

Harmonic Triad is the harmonic form of the musical note which are vertically placed and make one harmonic chord.

COMMUNICATION DESIGN STUDIO NEEDS...

_ Personal Harmony: employee’s personal work circulation. Their movement from computer desk to printer and to pin-up board/white board to see the presented works.

_ Team Harmony: spatial arrangement to make a great teamwork. Sharing idea is one of the important phases in communication design studio, so they need to have a space to gather and share their ideas frequently. Some stu-dios just use one big table to share their ideas easily.

_ Place to pin-up or sketch their ideas. Pin-up board, white board or back-painted glass wall can be the solution. They like to put their process works on the wall and get some feedbacks.

_ Printer/plotters should be placed where the designers/employers easily ac-cess and frequently get their stuffs.

_ Creative department should be open inside, but closed to the outside. On the other hands, marketing & business departments should be closed but also should be placed near the public because they frequently have meeting with other people from outside of the firm.

Bass note / Root in harmonic triad holds the basement in harmony. Mostly bass note defines the chord. Similarly, creative work should hold the basement of the firm because they can defines the company.

Mid note in harmonic triad makes the bal-ance between the high note and the bass note. Without this mid note, the harmony can’t be com-pleted. The ver-tical gathering space connects two different department and completes the harmony.

High note (Fifth) is creating the melodic movement in harmony. Mostly we can just hear this high note be-cause it sounds strong and attractive. However, without mid and bass note, it can’t be that strong. Partners are the head of the firm, and they defines the firm in public. But without the harmony between the creative designers and the business managers, this melody can’t be strong.

URBAN HIVEINTERDEPARTMENTAL STUDIO - BRANDING PROJECTUrban Luggage Storage and Lounge Service

This project was a main project of Interdepartmental Studio. Students from different departments (Ar-chitecture, Interiors, Industrial and Graphic) worked together to solve the social issues in this society and provide the solutions and complete the project with making branding of a business.

My group focused on the need of luggage storage service in New York city for both travelers and city pedestrians. Our goal was to design Branding Identitity of a luggage storage service business and also design the interiors of the shop. We assumed that this service is not just providing luggage storage service, but also providing resting areas and cafe lounges for the city people.

The Brand name “Urban Hive” is from the motif of Bee Hive. We thought this business was like an urban bee hive which contains luggages for people.

JUNO HAIRHAIRSHOP RETAIL INTERIOR DESIGN Gangseo, Seoul l Architect & Designer: Jinseok Yang

JUNO HAIR is one of the most famous hairshop brand in Korea, and they were one of YGROUP’s main client. JUNO HAIR gangseo shop was my first project in YGROUP. I managed the design and assisted the construction documents and 3D rendering images. 3D rendering images were very effective to make our client understand our design intend.

The space was designed by the principal of YGROUP, Jinseok Yang. The main concept of the interior is mirror. The mirrors were placed in diverse positions. Mirror was used for baseboards, and also we put the mirrors on the ceiling of cutting area.

FLOOR FINISH PLAN

Thses are the 3D rendering works that I had done in YGROUP for JUNO HAIR Prjoect. In Korea, this hair-shop design and construction process went so fast in short time. Before I joined the team, they didn’t think about making 3D renderings for clients. However, I had made these rendered interior and when we showed this to our client, he could understand our design intend.

This rendering was also helpful in construction site. The construction managers and craftmen could get some thoughts about how this space should look like when it was completed.

JUNO HAIR is one of the most famous hairshop brand in Korea, and they were one of YGROUP’s main client. JUNO HAIR ganseo was an interior project, but for this kyodae store, we had to design exterior fa-cade because it had three perimeter windows. I managed the design and assisted the construction docu-ments and 3D rendering images. For this project, I was more involved in design, too. I have designed the light box based on my principal’s sketch.

The space was designed by the principal of YGROUP, Jinseok Yang. The main concept of the interior is similar to ganseo store, but exterior has different look. Since the existing window treatments had a semi-circular shape, we decided to make it look more classic. We wanted to make a contrast between exterior and interior view.

While I was working at YGROUP in Korea, I had a chance to work with tvN TV program “The Birth of Rich” to design Retail Store. Everything had to be designed and constructed in two weeks with limited budget. This picture was one of the projects, and it was a smoothy and healthy bento restaurant. To emphasize the food’s freshness, green and orange were used as the main concept color of the store. Overall, I designed the store with the principal, drew the construction documents and manage the drawing and construction site.

YGROUP had a partnership contract with Gensler. When I entered the office, we were doing a corporation work with Gensler for Chevloret Korea’s Retail Shop Design Manual Guide. Since I was the one who could speak English fluently, I was the major contact to Gensler people in China.

Gensler had done all works and we assisted and helped on selecting materi-als, finishes and furnitures which were appropriate in Korea. Also, when Gensler made the design guide book in English, I translated them into Korean and completed Korean version of design guide book.

UNIFY THE SPACE LIKE A FOREST l Sustainable Office Design

he Japanese Restaurant UMI is located on the top floor of a five-star hotel along the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach. This contemporary restaurant provides a lot of Japanese traditional foods with American tastes including Sushi, Sashimi, Tepanyaki (grilled foods) as well as many delicious Japanese meals with Teriyaki sauce. This restaurant also provides various sea foods from Japanese recipes, King Crabs, a famous food of Virginia Beach. Since this restaurant is located on the top floor of the hotel, it provides a great ocean view for the customers.

This restaurant is located at Virginia Beach, so inspiration for the space is the OCEAN WAVE. The res-taurant name UMI means the ocean or the beach in the Japanese language. The space plan is inspired by the traditional Japanese painting of Tsunami, and follows the curvilinear line of the huge ocean wave. This painting also inspires the color selection of the space - blue, black, white and brown.

FLW GRILLED FOOD RESTAURANTA.D. German Warehouse by Frank Lloyd Wright

A.D. German Warehouse by Frank Lloyd Wright is located in Richland Center, Wisconsin and was com-pleted in 1914. It was Wright’s first expression of Mayan forms. The goal of the project is renovating a space in A.D. German Warehouse with the historic preservation of original building structure. Historic preservation is the act or process of applying measuring necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and material of a historic property. The work mainly focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of historic materials and features. This project is presenting a renovated interior space of the ground floor of A.D German Warehouse. This space is currently being used as a gift shop for the building, but the space is not preserved as well as before. The renovated space is a grilled food restaurant with the name of the master of the building, Frank Lloyd Wright.

The concept of the space is simply historic preservation with modern taste. The space plan is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s geometric Mayan pattern used on the exterior wall and interior columns. The space somehow feels like a construction site because of the materials like red bricks, exposed concretes and

exposed beams. These materials are chosen to express the purpose of the historic preservation and also these materials are very sustainable for today.

The main entrance of the restaurant is located on the side of the building, which is connected to the raised floor on the ground floor. It is consid-ered for the disabled people who cannot use the stairs to the raised floor. New main entrance has the ramp for the disabled people, so they can directly be at the main level of the restaurant.

ORGANIC SPACESTARBUCKS WASHINGTON DC OFFICE DESIGN

Everyone wants to drink a coffee made of fresh coffee beans. And Starbucks applies the highest stan-dards of excellence to the purchasing, roasting and fresh delivery of our coffee, and this company has a mission to fulfill the environmental issues. These goals of Starbucks show two words which represent the company - FRESH and NATURE. And there is another word for that - ORGANIC. It defines nature and life but it also means the systematic and organized. Starbucks office in Washington DC is designed under the concept of ORGANIC space because Starbucks is a very ORGANIC company. It produces fresh coffees with fresh coffee beans and also the market is very organized.

There are 4 motifs on designing the space - logo, coffee bean, cup holder and art work. Starbucks logo consists of two circles and a mermaid with long curly hair is in it. This logo has many curve lines and circular shape represent the ORGANIC movement. The space is basically designed following these curve lines. The conference room is oval shape, and it is come from the shape of the coffee bean. The cup holder of Starbucks is made of corrugated cardboard. And the stripe wood panels on the walls are

inspired by this material of cup holder. Finally, the color scheme of an art piece which is hung on the wall of Starbucks cafe is used to decide the color tones of the space.

The office space for Starbucks in Washington DC is designed to be an organic space. Following this concept, lighting is also designed to fulfill the purpose of the spaces. For most of the entire space, the compact fluorescent lightings are selected for energy saving issue. The re-cessed compact fluorescent lighting is selected instead of linear fluorescent lighting because the compact fluorescent lightings are much more flexible to place. Since the space has many curvilinear lines, the compact fluorescent lightings are much more flexible then the linear fluorescent lightings to place the lightings along the curvilinear lines or shapes.For the open office space, suspended direct-in-direct fluorescent lightings are mounted to make much brighter environment. Unlike the lobby space or corridors, the office areas must have more lights because they are the spaces where

people work. All the office areas, including both administrations and open offices, have windows so the workers may have natural lights during daytime and limit the number of the lights on. Some indirect fluorescent lighting is used for decorative purpose, too. For some lounge areas, the custom light box is mounted on the wall, and compact fluorescent lightings are mounted for downlights and linear fluorescent strips are used for uplight (indirect) effect. This uplight effect makes the space be more tasteful.

UNIFY THE SPACE LIKE A FORESTSUSTAINABLE OFFICE DESIGN

The forest consists of many different types of living creatures. However, they create uniform and beautiful natural scenery. The forest makes beautiful vertical line arrangements of trees and horizontal movements of paths. There are the staffs from four different countries in this firm, but they are working in one unified place.

Existing plan had some structural columns in the space. Therefore, it was important to deal with these columns by integrating the most columns. Also, the design staffs from 4 different countries (Brazil, China, India and US) should be distinguished but also they need to be unified as one group of design team. That was the basic concept of the plan. The corridor / hallway on the center are symbolizing the path in the forest.

Rest rooms and kitchen areas are separated from each other because Rest rooms are for both guests and staffs but kitchen is just for the staffs.The plan is built up more like to be practical and represent design concept. But the basic layout of spaces is similar to the block diagram. The elevator and the stairs to the loft are added within the space for library. The rest rooms have additional 4” walls along the existing walls for plumbing issue. The main hall path in the middle and circulating paths around the design studios make a nice traffic line in the space.
