Song Mi-rae

Song earned her architecture degree with a focus on traditional Korean structures. After working for a conventional architectural firm for five years, she joined Hana Traditional Woodworks to pursue her passion for traditional design. She bridges the gap between traditional aesthetics and modern architectural requirements.

Experience: Experienced designer with 6 years at the company (7/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Creating technical drawings
• Client design consultations
• Adapting traditional elements for modern homes

Traditional Korean architecture has a mathematical precision that predates modern engineering. My greatest satisfaction comes from showing clients that centuries-old design principles can create spaces that feel both timeless and perfectly suited to contemporary living.

Physical Condition

Generally healthy though she occasionally experiences wrist strain from detailed drafting work. Today she is feeling completely fine and focused on completing designs for an upcoming project.

Favorite Place

The Bukchon Hanok Village in northern Seoul where many traditional Korean houses have been preserved. She visits monthly to photograph architectural details and observe how different buildings have weathered over time. The village demonstrates how traditional wooden structures can maintain their integrity and beauty for centuries when properly constructed and maintained.
