Youngtaek Kim graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Architecture and obtained his master’s degree from the same university. In 1995, he joined POS-A.C., where he designed large-scale public and transportation facilities such as Jeonju World Cup Stadium and Gyeongju High-Speed Train Station. Since joining HAEAHN Architecture in 1999, he has focused on designing mixed-use facilities with an emphasis on residential complexes. He has proposed new typologies and programs for urban high-rise residential buildings through projects such as Seoul Forest Galleria Foret, the reconstruction of Hanyang Apartment in Yeouido, and Jayang 1 District. Beyond addressing diverse market demands, he places a strong emphasis on creating new urban identities through design. His vision has been realized in mixed-use office and commercial developments, including Magok One Grove, SOFITEL Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences, Jamsil Korva Tower, and Euljiro Pine Avenue.
