PORTFOLIO


JIIN PARK

The power of storytelling transforms spaces into living narratives. I approach every space as a canvas to inspire, evoke emotions, and create lasting memories.
As a spatial designer, I aim to create meaningful connections on both emotional and intellectual levels, enriching each space with distinctive narrative depth and a commitment to enhancing spatial experiences.

PG.18“Journey
of wine”
RADIANT is a wine tasting restaurant, that offers a savory journey through the Sun’s Phases. Here, people enjoy an unforgettable moment of discovery, through remarkable wine and food encounters.
In this space, shifting color and the use of natural light elevate the experience to become a sensory exploration of wine. Relating the colors and moods of wine, with the timeless beauty of the sun’s phases creates a new Radiant atmosphere.
Concept Statement : “ Savory journey through the sun’s timeless phases “
Wine is a portal to cherished memories, tying back to special moments with elements of romance, memory, and ritual. Inspired by the quote “Wine is sunlight held together by water” my design concept for a wine-tasting restaurant mirrors the sun’s phases, reflecting in the diverse colors of white, rosé, red, and sparkling wines—an invitation to a savory journey through the day’s hours.
Wine Tasting Restaurant Design-RADIANT
Considering where the sun shines for the longest periods of time, I determined how to allow natural light through the ceiling opening, creating interesting light patterns throughout the day.
How natural light slides on the wall throughout the day
Wine lovers often go tasting by visiting different wineries for diverse experiences. Bringing theses experience into one place, with different moods, and various wines, creating a new experience in the middle of Los Angeles, in the Silverlake neighborhood.
Gradual material applications and use of transitional colors, results in a space that combines stability, comfort with vitality while also mirroring the changing hues of the sky throughout the day.
Sunrise & Daytime (Dining Area)
In two dining space, one inspired by sunrise and the other by day, people will enjoy a fine dining, wine pairing experience under the sun’s changing light. The angled design of the wall is calculated to guide natural light across the room.
To have one linear shape light without window sims, I came up with a structure solution using cantilever ceiling with metal beams.
Sunset Time (Wine Party Area)
Material elevation
Slanted wall highlighted by wall wash light gives a sense of grandeur to elevate the party atmosphere, while round-shape hanging ceiling fabric adds a soft, embracing touch. Lighting and materials recreate a romantic sunset ambiance, perfect for wine gatherings.

Tasting Restaurant Design-
Curated color palette of purple, burgundy, blue, and gray creates an emotionally evocative ambiance for wine lovers enjoying the ocean at dusk. The soft velvet wall enhances comfort and invites a more enjoyable and intimate wine-tasting experience.
Twilight Time (Group Tasting, Wine class)
Material elevation
I organized an extended table accommodating 15 guests for ideal group tastings and wine classes. The fluted tiles with brass accents elevate the space, exuding sophistication. Each table features a small lamp for enhanced visibility, ensuring a wine-tasting experience.

“Participate in the experience of laundering the earth”
Emphasizing the sustainable aspect of FREITAG, the exhibit ‘TRADE TO SAVE’ is a concept pop-up where people participate in the experience of saving the earth in the brands’ tradition. Rather than buying new, people are trading bags from laundry modules as an act of laundering the earth.
To create the most effective space with the least amount of wasted material, the entire exhibit is modular constructed with scaffolding and laundry cabinet modules. Most materials are up-cycled. Seating arrangements serve as structural support, and also adapt to suit various site requirements.
S.W.A.P is FREITAG’s Tinder-style platform, letting owners upload pictures of their old bags and swipe to arrange swaps. This initiative encourages and incentives customers to invest in sustainable products.

Repeated modules work as a facade, and double as bag trading windows. This is a laundry inspired locker, which people can freely access to trade bags with a FREITAG laundry card. Thee modules will be reused for bag display purposes in FREITAG store locations
Two variations of seating function as structural supports, and also create enjoyable options for visitors to relax. Seating can be arranged in different ways to meet an array of site-specific needs.
This structure is a fun and sustainable example of the brand aesthetic. Recycled bricks support reclaimed wood, and ratchet tie downs support the hanging seating.
Visitors can rest in this unique seating made from repurposed seatbelt straps and airbags, while showcasing FREITAG’s distinctive identity through spatial graphics.

“Falling into the ocean eyes: inviting to the world of unknown”
Project “Ocean Eyes” is an immersive cruise ship community space that offers interactive, family-oriented activities. The concept draws guests into the ocean’s allure, encouraging exploration and sensory engagement with ocean mysteries. By integrating hands-on experiences with the natural beauty of the sea, “Ocean Eyes” aims to create unforgettable moments of discovery and bonding for families, inviting them to uncover a world beyond their wildest imaginations.
Concept Statement : “Falling into the ocean eyes: inviting to the world of the unknown”
Some things are just inevitable. Like someone gives you those ocean eyes, they make you so resistless. So does the sea. The sea, once it casts its spell, you can’t help but fall into its net of wonder forever. Incorporating ocean zones to the concept to make the audience explore different characteristics of it and allow them to have dynamic feelings as they dive deeper.
