The main design task was to transform this open volume into a comfortable hospitality environment with clearly defined dining areas, a strong visual identity and an intimate evening atmosphere.

Sometimes the smallest material choice has the biggest impact on a project. In this home bar remodel, the standout feature isn't the cabinetry, countertops, or appliances. It's the woven wire mesh wrapping the front of the bar. By incorporating Banker Wire's M33-2 pattern in stainless steel, the homeowner turned a straightforward bar area into a space with texture, character, and a distinctly custom feel. The before-and-after photos make the transformation easy to appreciate. While the original bar served its purpose, it lacked a strong focal point. Adding wire mesh to the face of the bar instantly changed the visual experience of the entertainment space. The woven pattern introduces depth and detail that catches your eye without dominatin...

Brief:  The client requested a renovation project of a two-storied house within a busy alley, re-purposing the place into a Japanese cocktail bar, Yugen. The new bar was expected to have two types of seating areas: communal bar counter and sofa booths. Kitchen, BOH and VIP rooms were placed on the ground floor while the bar was positioned on the first floor. Challenges: Yugen is the concept of an untranslatable beauty in Japanese culture. Portraying the abstract beauty was a key challenge of the project, hence minimalism was decided to be the design approach to awaken a serene feeling and create a moment of contemplation within the lively alley, contrasting with its chaotic nature.

In 2001, the Amsterdam tennis club Tie-Breakers had a clubhouse and a tennis hall built on the east side of Flevopark.

SAN was born with the intention to become a new reference point for the local scene: collecting the heritage of the historic pastry Supino, which for decades has been an iconic place for the neighborhood, SAN is a project of continuity and regeneration, where design tells the story of the past through a contemporary lens. The original red granite floor has been preserved, as well as the “S” shaped brass handles, symbolic elements that keep alive the memory of the place. The historical signs have been recovered and reinterpreted: now stripped of their original appearance, they reveal the bare neon structure, striking a balance between nostalgia and modernity.

Jeongchae means stagnation, It is a term that describes a state of remaining in place, unable to move forward- moments of delayed movement. We observe a person standing before a softly glowing amber traffic light. They appear completely still, yet slowly begin to move inward, toward another direction. sehee park To remain in one place touches both space and time. While staying within a period of stagnation, we may seem motionless, yet in fact pass through time and space at an extremely slow pace. A descent inward often produces a sensation in which time and mass expand in a negative direction. Within a word that appears negative at first glance, depth begins to form. sehee park sehee park The amber light that appears just... More

In this modern society we are living in, 'multi' purpose prevails. People have a concept like Multi Persona, and space is even more so. A house becomes a cafe, a bookstore becomes a bar, and a department store becomes a gallery. Billi Seoul can be seen as a club or a lounge bar, but it has a hidden side of it.
