PROFILE
At KWONBAE we believe in the credo of “Beautiful Sustain.” We are driven by the notion that the world should be sustainable and beautiful. Like changing musical chords can affect emotion, we arrange different forms, materials, and sustainable strategies to create compelling compositions.
KWONBAE believes buildings are for humans. We focus on delivering bespoke projects that meet clients’ needs and ensure close communication throughout the process. Our office favors a modern design aesthetic with attention to craft and reverence towards simplicity. We believe sustainability is no longer a question, but rather a decision on how it is implemented.
