I’m Ha eun Park (she/her), a fourth-year student of Interior Architecture at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, USA.
My academic journey has been enriched by exploring the intersection of design and business, particularly through my studies in business marketing and branding. These experiences shaped my belief that interior design goes beyond aesthetics— it is about crafting spaces that embody a brand's identity, philosophy, and values while elevating the user’s experience.
I view interior design as a discipline that combines storytelling and functionality. It’s about weaving narratives that connect spaces to the people who inhabit them and the brands they represent. Through my work, I strive to create designs that are not only visually compelling but also deeply meaningful and impactful.
My early exposure to architectural collaboration at Junglim Architecture’s NID department taught me the importance of balancing functionality with creativity. By questioning traditional boundaries and embracing diverse contexts, I aim to design spaces that resonate with users on both a practical and emotional level.

Migrants in a Foreign Land: What Does a Complete Life Mean to Them?
For those who have moved to a foreign country and are going through difficult times, what does a complete and fulfilling life look like?
Imagine providing these individuals with a community space where they can live “together but separately,” helping to fill the gaps in each other’s lives, providing support, and coexisting in a way that promotes mutual growth.
design concept
The main concept of the building is inspired by the image of an intertwined cube. Just as rotating blocks create diverse patterns and new faces and combinations, each color of the cube represents a different program. By interweaving these programs, the goal is to blur the boundaries between private and public spaces.
Instead of the conventional arrangem ent of programs, mixing spaces encourages active interaction between floors. This approach aims to move beyond individualism, fostering emotional stability through communal living, and helping migrants quickly integrate into society.

fLooR pLAns
The main objective is to help migrants quickly adapt to their new country and avoid feeling isolated. Just as modern people visit hotels for extraordinary and unfamiliar experiences, it is important to create a space for migrants that is not merely for living and sleeping. Instead, it should be a place that fosters a sense of community, reducing feelings of isolation and lack of interaction in daily life. By developing this concept within the building itself, we can offer migrants an extraordinary experience even in their everyday environment.
By moving between different floors for various programs and encountering residents from other levels, a sense of familiarity and community is built.

RepURposing the coRRidoR spAces
Unlike traditional multi-family housing, which was solely focused on providing living spaces, modern multi-family housing emphasizes communication and the quality of living. By appropriately arranging private spaces for living and public spaces for interaction—such as communal gardens, corridor interaction areas on each floor, and childcare spaces—the goal is to enhance both the function and quality of housing while encouraging neighborly communication. Additionally, rather than focusing solely on floor area, a more threedimensional perspective can reveal hidden spaces that are not immediately visible.

Thread Gallery
The ‘Thread Gallery’ is a public exhibition space that promotes local artists and celebrates the community’s cultural history. Collaborating with artists and historians to create inclusive exhibits and events that showcase the vibrant and diverse cultural heritage.
It is a revolutionary approach to art exhibition spaces. It challenges the conventional norms of formality and quietude, replacing them with an atmosphere that is celebratory, engaging, and inviting. By incorporating curves, a piano, and a muted color palette, it creates an environment where visitors can comfortably linger and interact not only with art but also nature.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
One of the central design principles at play in the Thread Gallery is the incorporation of curves. Curved walls, flowing benches, and dynamic elements throughout the space create a sense of fluidity and engagement. These curves serve to break away from the rigid formality associated with traditional galleries. Instead of feeling pressured to behave in a well-mannered manner, visitors are encouraged to interact with the space and art in a more relaxed and inclusive manner. |
Apparel Showroom Design
and is mainly targeted at young and fashionable women between 18 and 35, who are in pursuit of a sophisticated fashions style and a perfect and flawless appearance. The overall mood of the shop is modern, minimalistic, and comfortable created by woods and a coating of natural elements touch. This mood was created to make visitors feel as they were stepping into their own wardrobe closet.
The comfortable, open, and light-filled space was created. In the limited area of the store, it was necessary to meet the functions of display, exhibition, warehousing, and sales, as well as to considering well programmed circulation for consumers to strengthen the experience.
Warm, nature inspired colors are the key. Using natural woods gives relaxing and soothing vibes. Also, warm, earth toned furniture in the interior helps to achieve natural feeling in the scenery.

The combination of deep reds, greens, and oranges not only infuses energy into the space but also mirrors the lively cultural traditions and artistic expressions that have thrived for generations.
Wabi-sabi House
The use of clean surfaces, minimalistic, simple touches and soft colors create a harmony of joy forming an uniform environment. Most furniture used in interior spaces are custom designed and manufactured, mostly hand crafted, garnished with natural textures such as wood, marble, and brass, expressing a dominant synchronized style with a variation between them.
I
This Warm, cozy earth-toned contemporary style house with natural plain texture preferences give sensibility of comfort and elegance and is designed with Scandinavian furniture selection and natural materials, creating a tranquilizing aura.
The main concept of this house is a theory by Ludwid Mies van der Rohe called “minimalism – les is more”. “Less” here means eliminating unnecessary elements in the spatial design, while “more” indicated perfect integration of all elements rather than making the space crowded by using as much elements as possible.
