With the thought that the essence of architecture is the introspection on ‘residential space’, she is much interested in eco-friendly architecture for a sustainable society.
She has the experience of carrying out LEED projects in Korea with foreign clients, participated in the eco-friendly academy in Korea, and acquired the license of Building Energy Assessor at the test first conducted in 2015.
She gave lectures in a university to contribute to the social responsibility of the certified architects and is acting as an architecture examiner for a local government.
She successfully completed the project, Busan Myeongji-dong Myeongji The Sharp First World; by designing, with such expertise, various buildings like studio apartments, offices, hotels and conventions, and shopping malls; by exposing urban views in harmony with the features of each building by rearranging given housing sites; by readjusting the scale of the city in the given land use plan by reviving the characteristics of reclaimed land and the human scale of the pedestrian; and by suggesting the standard of new urban view.
She also performed many projects of the Songdo Free Economic Zone, frequently seen online for its unique designs, with such famous foreign architects as HOK, KPF.
The major projects that she carreid out are as follows:
Songdo The Sharp Arcbay that best fits ‘the special design’, the hottest issue of local media at the time of request, by suggesting the regional land mark with view-specialized floor plan reflecting placeness and with the exterior plan of beautiful lines of the lake as design motives, and the comfortable and unique space of living;
Songdo Hillstate Lake phase 3 is the project of apartment that becomes the new design indicator in Songdo landmark city with the construction plan that involved the nature around the park and the lake, with the thoughtful plan reflecting styles, construction, and residence altogether, and by satisfying both contradictory needs of clients and differentiated designs; and Songdo Seawork In Terrace improved both business value and usability with the business podium which attracts the flow of pedestrians as a gap in the high-density business area, with the business space of diverse uses following the compact space plan, and with the simple and refined exterior designs that catch attention.
With these experiences of the projects and those of MA with LH, SH, she is leading the master plan that is the guide for the entire districts in Songdo Landmark City.
