Cheolmin Kim is an architectural designer based in London and Seoul who graduated from The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) with an MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part II) and the University of Brighton with BArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part I).
Interested in material, structural and spatial experimentation at a range of scales, he develops unexpected and highly original designs, each different from the other. He is interested in exploring the potential of a project’s existing site to uncover the interplay between the building and its environment. He believes architecture is not about form. It is about the interpreted outcome of a specific site or place through material relationships.
Between academia and practice, he honed his ability to work to a tight deadline in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. With his academic achievements, strong design skills, practical experience, and passion for architecture, he is confident to bring significant value and outcomes.
