. . , . FKI (AKA Fedearation of Korean Idustries) has realized a change of its work enviornment which could not support the employees to communicate each other and was stagnated. Efciency and borderless well-communicative ofce was the frame work of this project. Since the companys new built nest would be located so called Smart building which addresses new paradigm of ofce space, they wanted to make it Smart as well. In this appreciation, the partition height was lowered and collaborative space was designed as a key of the design to fulll these needs and re-programm the brand new work circumstance.

Seoul (Daehakro, Gangnam, Hanyang Univ.), 2013 Brand Planning Graphic Design Interior Design Manual

. , . 2013 5 1 2 3, 4 . . , . Gaongill, the name means a road that is right and honest in Korean, is a dessert cafe which serves modernized Korean dessert and beverages. Since the client of Gaongill has offered the project, I have been charged with from visual design directing to interior design manual that even needed very detailed part. To make this cafe as a franchise brand, I designed and manualized over all of the part such as graphic design, art work, photo, product design. Thanks to strong belief from client I was able to take all their 4 cafe branches on which are located in Dahakro, Gangnam, Hanyang University and Ihwa University in Seoul. Under the circumstance such an oversaturated coffee market around, especially because of customers in Seoul, picky and never loyal to their tastes, who always want new things in their life, I had to consider something unprecendented brand image. There has been exponential growth on Korean desert cafe market whereas customers have turned back to more authentic and real cultural ethics. To encompass those ideas and make this brand differentiated from the others within same eld, I set the goal of this project to make a brand that addresses Korean traditional esthetic with contemporary sense. Through a number of study and research I had embarked on a certain sensibility that reaches Korean poetic consensus but also can be appealed younger generations with contemplating modernism. Gaongill is now aiming their succeeding expansion to global market as well as growing positive responses in Korea embracing all generations of customers by impressing their brand image as a new conception of Korean dessert caf.

4 . , . 4 , . . , , . Casual fusion Italian restaurant Alices Kitchen is located on 4th oor of a high-rise building near Konkook University in which is diverse and vibrant area in terms of casual culinary scene. The restaurant wanted to share a special service and food experience that would be served in an impressive space with customers. There has been a huge boom in Seoul about a certain types of restaurant interior design which can be put in a nutshell, Industrial Vintage Mood. I found it there are no special or distinguishable traits so that customers would appreciate the restaurants uniqueness. To achieve this, I found the most of customers in this restaurant are college girls and geographical context made some sort of feelings get away of daily routine and an isolated space that gives surrealistic ambience. Thus the story of Alice in wonderland was referenced with surrealismic metaphors which are shown art works of Rene Magritte and Max Ernst.

2011 2 2013 . 2 3 . Im Home Homey . , Located in burgeoning area in which is half hour away from Seoul, Cafe Im Home has expanded their business to open their 3rd branch in Seopangyo. Since the cafe has gained their fame about home styled American brunch, the client wanted to have their new place more homey and rened vintage mixed industrial mood which is differentiated from their 2nd branch I designed in 2011. Newly proposed design was about to hold these two features mixed together and in a way of Scandinavian modernism-ish decoration which provide a cozy humane touch in monochromic structure and space. For the exterior part, guratively connotative house shaped mass in rusty textured black metal wall leading visitors feel reversal ambience, bright and homey, over the initial outside experience.
