Interview with the 2023 TITAN Property Awards Winner \u2013 Min Jin Kook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself, your background, and your job profile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Min Jin, I am an amenity design specialist based in NYC. I create high-quality, exciting amenity spaces in NYC apartments. My passion for design began in Korea, where I am from. I constantly sketched interior spaces when I was growing up- and it never stopped when I came to the US to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was academically trained in Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design where I tuned into the issue of sustainability and resilient architecture. As an amenity design specialist, I strongly believe in integrating architecture and amenity interiors; creating a high-density, exciting living space that provides all elements of fun. These amenity spaces include lobby, gym, lounges, and other shared spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing so, I seek to reduce carbon footprints generated by traveling outside of apartments. The main driver of amenity designs is to create less energy waste through the holistic, sustainable design solutions, which are beneficial to apartment residents and the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find joy in bolstering designs that are bold, dramatic, and visually striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal as an artist\/design specialist is to show people how exciting, extra-ordinary everyday spaces could be. Through my amenity space designs, I hope to craft a lifestyle that are exciting and convenient, which also meets the current market demands in the real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What is your role in the company?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project I was awarded is my personal project, which does not involve my current company. However, I do constantly draw inspiration from other designers at my company, and I am grateful for my company\u2019s support to be a more creative, experimental designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently employed at Woods Bagot, an architecture company that sets the new standard for architecture and interior design. It\u2019s a collaborative office where fresh ideas are exchanged and tested through new technology and designs. Within the company, I focus on creating design materials and oversee production work. My current work involves creating amenity spaces for two large apartment buildings in NYC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a day-to-day basis, I make design decisions and help clients envision the end product, which is the set of amenity designs. They not only need to meet the amenity design trends, but also need to exceed the property market demands. Through and through, nothing makes a designer feel good as when the client gets excited about the design vision that is conveyed clearly in drawings and digital renderings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Please tell us more about your company \/ organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working at my current company is truly a privilege as a design specialist. Working with other design specialists challenges me to learn more about the world and design knowledge. Sharing my design knowledge is truly a rewarding experience and I am proud to build my career at Woods Bagot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
