MMKM associates is a design brand established in partnership between MINIMAX architects, which opened in 2013, and KM architects, which opened in 2016. Seo-Hong Min and Se-Kyung Kim, who worked at the same design office in 2004, have been experimenting with collaboration methods through a joint design brand since 2016, more than ten years later, and based on space design, they have studied furniture, installation art, interior architecture, architecture and urban design. After 5 years of experimentation, such as working across a wide range of fields, MMKM Architects & Engineers Co., Ltd. was established in July 2020 and merged into one corporation.
MMKM is a brand name with no hierarchical end rhyme, and while respecting each other's domains, the flexibility of the organization centered on the project and the expansion and integration of various fields not limited to the architectural field are expressed. . Therefore, the work places more importance on process integration rather than individual design tendencies, and prefers a problem-solving method by teamwork that reveals the desires inherent in the project.
