IDR Architects was founded in 2014 by Seunghwan Lee and Borim Jun. IDR is a name that quietly echoes words like idea and ideal—a subtle suggestion of our desire to move beyond fixed systems and toward a more intuitive, responsive architecture.
We aim to respond flexibly to diverse external conditions and embrace a more open-ended approach to design. Our work often begins by questioning what is taken for granted in the urban and architectural landscape, with a particular focus on the role of architecture as a backdrop that mediates between users and everyday life.
