My.Suit Selected by A.R.E as 2011 Design Award Winner

Less is more in this men’s suit retailer, which offers a 3,000-square-foot space for men to enjoy custom designing their own suit, a tangible representation of their web shopping experience. Suits are visually displayed without looking busy, suit fabrics on hand to touch and feel are held by magnets, and fixtures have integrated projectors and monitors for the interactive suitbuilding process. Touch-screen computers and projectors offer a step-by-step process for customers to follow in a streamlined, yet dramatic space filled with neutral black, white, and gray.




My.Suit, a made-to-measure suit retailer offering a fully customizable menswear shopping experience, has just been named one of A.R.E.'s 2011 Design Award Winners. The hand-patinated steel, bronze, and glass fixtures featured in the clothier's New York City space were designed by UnSPACE and crafted by Amuneal to be reminiscent of displays found in the American Museum of Natural History. The clean, crisp lines and hand finished aspects of the illuminated showcases and multi-media fabric bar were deliberately chosen to highlight the the tailored environment.


Amuneal, UnSPACE and My.Suit were chosen out of a record 298 entries by a panel of A.R.E. judges to receive one of just 54 awards. The awards will be presented on March 28th, in the Venetian Ballroom at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.

Edge City Gadeokdo Development, Busan, Korea 2010.
Pro­ject Team: N.E.E.D.  + Group Han Asso­cia­tes
Team Mem­bers: Sang­mok Kim, AIA LEED AP and Sung­woo Kim, SBA Dutch Archi­tect

Loca­ted on the boun­dary where the city of Busan meets Hal­lyeo Marin Natio­nal Park, Gadeokdo pres­ents a typi­cal urban pro­blem of a city on the edge; heavy exploi­ta­tion of its resour­ces by infra­struc­tures ser­ving other areas.



Four mega scale urban pro­jects — Busan New Port, Geoga High­way, Free Eco­no­mic Zones and a new air­port – are trans­for­ming this once pris­tine island to not­hing but infra­struc­tu­ral was­te­land. To retain and advance its natu­ral resour­ces as well as to effi­ci­ently sup­port new urban demands from adja­cent deve­lop­ment, four inter­con­nec­ted sub-cities are plan­ned to engage with four dif­fe­rent func­tions separately.

Architecture+Interior Designers, AnL Studio(Keehyun Ahn & Minsoo Lee) have designed a public observatory deck, called Oceanscope, in Incheon, Korea made of recycled materials, including old shipping containers.



The used containers are re-purposed and recycled for a temporary shelter in many rural areas in Korea simply because it is inexpensive.However, indiscreet uses of these commercial metal-box products that don’t have harmonious relationships with their surroundings are causing an unsuccessful outcome in rural environments.
