Design is a conversation, and hearing the industry echo back the stories we have woven into our spaces is a deeply humbling honor.

We were honored to win the DP Debut 3.0 Award in the Culinary Spaces category for our Seoul Restaurant project. This trophy represents our dedication to creating culturally authentic and innovative dining experiences.

About Awards & Recognition

These accolades, from the DP Debut 3.0 Award to features in Architectural Digest, serve as markers for our process rather than just milestones. Every recognized project, such as our work on the Seoul Restaurant or the Plug & Play clinic, began by listening to the site’s constraints instead of masking them. When you choose to work with us, you opt for a design process that prioritizes honest materiality and spatial storytelling over industry trends.
