Chang Hyun Paik is an architect based in Seoul, South Korea. With over a decade of professional experience at SPACE GROUP, one of Korea’s most influential architecture firms, he has developed a design language rooted in contextual clarity, material honesty, and spatial precision.
His approach is driven by a belief that architecture begins with attentiveness to the place—its history, topography, and cultural rhythms—and culminates in built forms that quietly endure over time.
He values architecture not only as an act of construction, but as a method of interpretation—where material and memory intersect. His works reflect a continuing effort to reconcile contemporary needs with the specific, often overlooked, character of site and situation.
