In the field of architecture and interior design, there are very few brands that integrate and harmonize dispersed experiential elements, such as architecture, interior, and landscaping, like Ahn&Partners. Founded by the esteemed space designer Minwoo Ahn, the firm has pioneered a lifestyle platform in the global design landscape, holding a prestigious position among the Top 100 Architects and Designers selected by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. 

The Visionary Behind the Scenes: Minwoo Ahn

At the core of Ahn&Partners’ success is founder and creative director Minwoo Ahn’s vision for humanity. Through his career dedicated to redefining the essence of space as an experience through architecture and design, founder and creative director Ahn has established himself as a pioneer in creating environments that go beyond aesthetics. His approach combines a deep understanding of architectural structures with a keen focus on user experience. This context has allowed Ahn&Partners to stand out in a competitive field by providing spatial experience solutions that are visually simple and functionally superior. 

Core Values of Ahn&Partners

The three pillars supporting Ahn&Partners’ development of integrated real estate products are analysis-based strategic planning, consistent project concept development, and space experience design. From small-scale residential spaces to large-scale commercial complexes, each project is approached with these values in mind, ensuring creative solutions that are not only innovative but also deeply aligned with the unique experiential purpose of the space. 

A Portfolio About Lifestyle Platform

Ahn&Partners’ diverse work proves their open attitude and professionalism. The portfolio includes a mix ranging from luxurious residential interiors to large-scale mixed-use commercial projects. Each project is a showcase of Ahn&Partners’ commitment to providing the best space for people through an integrated lifestyle platform development process by broadening the boundaries of design to encompass real estate product development. 

A standout from their portfolio is the multi-award-winning Wave House. This architectural marvel, nestled in Korea’s scenic landscape, is a testament to their innovative approach. The Wave House is designed to provide a unique living experience in a single-family home, with the indoors and outdoors perfectly connected. Key features include a living room and bar combining private and communal spaces, a basement bathroom with a skylight letting in natural light, and a curved exterior that blends in with the interior. This project embodies Ahn&Partners’ efforts to create a space of sensory experience deeply connected to nature, rather than just architecture.
