The new hire underscores the firm’s emphasis on cultivating creative voices
Global architectural design practice MG2 has expanded its senior team with Jooyeol Oh, former Vice President at Arquitectonica, who joined the firm’s Seattle office as a Design Principal. A visionary designer with 20+ years of experience, Jooyeol is internationally recognized for his award-winning buildings and master plans, and recently served as the lead designer for the office building that will reside in the western part of Manhattan’s Hudson Yards.
Jooyeol will be leading the high-rise market sector and guiding design excellence efforts for the Community Environments Market.
“Jooyeol’s fundamental approach to design, sustainability, and the community were a natural fit for MG2. We’re a firm that embodies each of these values in every project, and I’m excited for him to lead our design teams and clients in creating meaningful experiences that will positively impact the environments and neighborhoods around them.” – Mitch Smith, CEO, MG2
Jooyeol’s diverse range of complex projects and vast experience spans mixed-use, mid-rise residential, high-rise, and urban design disciplines, allowing him to seamlessly partner with clients to understand their visions and bring beautiful, high-performance environments to life.
“There’s a unique opportunity at MG2 to take on and contribute to the design leadership practice, advancing the firm’s reputation and ensuring our values reflect in everything we do. As an added bonus, after years of amazing project experiences in the world’s biggest architectural playground, I get to return to my roots in the Pacific Northwest.” – Jooyeol Ho, Principal, MG2
