HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPAGNY

As an architect and interior designer at STUDIOS Architecture, I participated in the renovation of Hyundai Motor Company’s headquarters in Seoul, spanning over 25,000 square meters and requiring LEED and WELL certifications. The project emphasized modularity to accommodate future changes in layout and materials, such as reusing existing stone for the main terrazzo of the project or thinking about severals uses for a same space.

 

The diverse programming allowed me to design varied spaces, as the chairman envisioned environments ranging from a recording studio to an Italian village piazza in the cafeteria. This included lounges, offices, sports facilities, and dining areas, all adhering to strict standards and techniques.

 

In July 2022, I joined the project team during the Schematic Design (SD) phase. I contributed to design concepts and coordinated efforts among team members, ensuring cohesive implementation with our Korean counterparts : the client's in-house architects. This collaboration enhanced my communication and coordination skills.

 

As we moved into the Design Development (DD) phase, we focused on refining designs, making plan adjustments, and exploring feasibility with the local architect, including detailed drawings.

 

The SD phase was a rewarding challenge, involving careful selection of finishes, textures, colors, and furniture aligned with the brand's image and the diverse spaces.

 

Overall, the Hyundai project was pivotal in my career, deepening my passion for interior design and raising my standards for delivering exceptional and detailed results. The project's unique team organization provided valuable insights into effective management and project organization, essential for future endeavors.
