We just finished our home renovation with Ju in Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was a very challenging gut renovation project. From the design to the execution of the project, Ju was on the top of everything including the project management. Considering we are in a very difficult circumstances such as high inflation and supply chain issues, Ju and her team delivered the project on time with no issue. We highly recommend Ju and her team for any architectural and interior projects.

I worked with Ju Kim on a project on West 61st street and it was a real pleasure to work with such a professional. I have been designing homes for over 35 years and worked with a lot of designers but working with Ju was an amazing experience. The project was finished on time and the client was very happy. I would recommend Ju and give her 5 stars.

As the sales manager of French luxury furniture brand I have the pleasure to work with Ju and Hyper Building Workshop team on a few projects in Manhattan and New Jersey and I am happy to count them amongst my greatest collaborators. Ju has the sense of expertise and knowledge of the industry that allows her to be at ease on so many fields. Always available to make communication easier between clients and the retailers.
