About

Two chapters: architecture in Seoul, interiors in Vancouver.

I studied architecture at Hanbat National University in Daejeon and spent three years at Baum Architects in Seoul, where you learn that a drawing is a legal instrument before it is a picture.

I moved to Canada in 2012, retrained in interior design at BCIT, and have practised in Vancouver since 2022, first at House of Bohn on multi-family, display homes and commercial work, then at Measured Architecture on high-end residential, work that has run from single rooms to full-home renovations.

Saebom Kim Design opened in 2026. I keep final say on the design direction, which was the reason for starting it, and this is what that costs and what it buys.

Experience

Roughly 7.5 years of design practice, three in Seoul, four and a half in Vancouver.
