JAKUPSIL

Jakupsil 작업실 is the Korean term for a studio, atelier, or laboratory—a space dedicated to exploring and testing design methodologies. Our mission is to redefine the architecture industry by expanding the scope of services across various design disciplines and professional domains, with a particular focus on art, real estate, and regulatory compliance. We are involved in all stages of architectural services, from concept and feasibility studies to construction documentation and administration. We assist with real and personal property transactions and provide art consultations for both residential and commercial clients. 

Services are delivered through collaborations, integrating the expertise of our in-house team with that of trusted affiliates. With over two decades of experience in their respective fields, our affiliates primarily serve the Tri-State area. We oversee every step of the process to ensure a seamless and customized experience. The Jakupsil team includes licensed architects, real estate professionals, and gallerists based in both the US and Korea.
