NOMAL

NOMAL is an architectural firm based in South Korea founded by three young designers, Seyeon Cho, Bokki Lee and Minyuk Chai. The name NOMAL is derived from the English word "NORMAL", which means "normal" by dropping the middle "R" and just borrowing the pronunciation of "NOMAL".

The goal of the studio is to transform the ordinary beauty of the everyday into something new and meaningful. Instead of creating declarative or self-replicating buildings, they are seeking a sense of balance through the design process, seeking diversity and flexibility in their working methods.

Seyeon Cho, a graduate of Parsons School of Design, previously worked at AI Studio in New York and Wise Architecture, where he met two other partners before forming NOMAL. Based on individual concerns, the studio aims to optimize, complement and enhance the physical and non-physical objective factors that people may encounter in their daily living Spaces.

Bokki Lee graduated from the Department of Architecture at Kyung Hee University. After joining NOMAL, his dedication to his work and unique style presentation of space design enabled him to work with an eye toward building materials and physical properties.

After graduating from the Department of Architecture at the Korea University of the Arts, Minyuk Chai has focused on urban development and social phenomena, and based his work on the special significance of architecture and space in daily life.
