공들여 계획하고 알맞은 재료로 완성된 건축, 속도와 거리의 감각이 온전히 깃든 건축은 일생에 걸쳐 우리 몸과 마음을 건강하게 지켜주리라 믿습니다.

건축설계를 통해 우리 삶의 질을 높이고, 건강한 루틴을 만들어내는 것을 소명으로 생각합니다. 사람과 사물의 관계에 대한 고민을 바탕으로 몸과 마음을 아우르는 시스템을 설계하며, 눈에 보이는 요구를 넘어 프로젝트의 잠재력을 극대화하는 건축해법을 탐구합니다.
신축, 증축, 리모델링 등 건축의 전 영역과 생애주기에서 지속가능성과 퍼포먼스, 심미성을 균형 있게 추구하며, 기획에서 설계, 시공에 이르는 전 과정을 전지적 안목으로 관리합니다. 우리가 설계하는 건축과 환경이 사람들에게 편안함과 기쁨을 선사하고, 오랜 시간 본분을 다하도록 매사에 진심으로 임하고 있습니다.

Constructing Care:
Envisioning Architecture of Measured Distances and Calibrated Pace
The architecture of care emerges through an acute understanding of two fundamental tenets: distance and pace. Distance, in this regard, is not merely a spatial measurement but an existential calibration—a strategic negotiation between individuals and the natural environment that architecture perpetually mediates. When architecture thoughtfully establishes spatial boundaries, it does more than conserve resources or reduce environmental impact; it choreographs human proximity, crafting spaces that impart lasting satisfaction through their attunement to life’s essential rhythms.
Pace, on the other hand, addresses architecture’s latent role as a moderator of temporal flow within the built environment. A well-tempered pace reframes the velocity of daily events, preventing the collision of excess and inertia alike. Here, architecture becomes an instrument of measured cadence, mitigating disruptions and proposing new modalities of engagement. By attuning itself to the speed of its inhabitants—whether individuals or objects—architecture functions as a steadfast custodian of spatial coherence, anchoring moments of stillness and dynamism alike.
In this framework, careful-ness transcends aesthetic or functional concerns; it repositions design as a practice deeply embedded in sustaining meaningful spatial relationships. Through the dual lenses of distance and pace, architecture fosters spaces that respect the intricacies of human life while maintaining a conscientious connection to the environment.
Lee Kyeong Jae Architecture Projects / LKJAP
is a Seoul-based design practice dedicated to creating spaces that seamlessly integrate function with subtlety, responding thoughtfully to the needs of daily life and the environment. ◇ With expertise in context-sensitive solutions and a phased approach to design, we prioritize a process that brings together precision and purpose, resulting in spaces that feel both natural and enduring. ◇ Our studio operates as a dynamic task force, collaborating with partners and consultants to tackle complex projects at the urban scale. By fostering an open and forward-looking work culture, we stay engaged with contemporary needs while maintaining a vision for lasting impact. ◇ For commissions, partnerships, or career inquiries, please connect with us via email︎︎︎.
Principal architect and visionary behind LKJAP.
Rooted in a commitment to quality of life and communal resilience, his projects blend contextual sensitivity with clarity of purpose, aiming to foster environments that resonate both functionally and socially. His recognized public projects include the Seoul Metro Jong-gak Station Extension and the Seoul National University Institute of Advanced Machines and Design, alongside numerous honors, including the TSK Fellowship Award.
His educational background reflects a deep engagement with architecture’s potential to shape meaningful interactions. After completing his B.S. in Architectural Engineering at Seoul National University, he pursued his M.Arch at the Yale School of Architecture, where his work with Frank O. Gehry and Peter Eisenman in Advanced Studios sharpened his perspective on design as a discipline grounded in both rigor and adaptability. His practice exemplifies this philosophy, crafting architecture that remains sensitive to both present needs and future possibilities.
In his role as an educator at Seoul National University and Hongik University, he teaches Algorithm-Driven Digital Fabrication Design and Advanced Design Studios, cultivating an environment where students probe the intersections of digital technology, design theory, and spatial experience. His teaching underscores a belief that architecture thrives at the intersection of innovative methodologies and human-centered thinking—a reflection of his commitment to fostering the next generation of architects.
Further extending his engagement with interdisciplinary collaboration, he is actively involved in research with the Seoul National University Hospital’s Department of Medicine & Advanced Technology. This work allows him to explore architecture’s role within complex systems, positioning his practice as one that not only designs but also questions and adapts to evolving patterns of human life and environmental responsibility.
