Il Hoon Roh

Architect and designer Il Hoon Roh received an AA Diploma from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London and a Masters degree in Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London. In 2004, Il Hoon won the British Cement Association Award and the International Concrete Design Competition in Europe by proposing an architectural concrete structure titled “Non-directional Spatial Skeleton Structure.” This work became the foundation for his later designs. In early 2010, after qualifying for the Royal Institute of British Architects and working as an architect in architectural firms in London including Foster and Partners, Il Hoon set up a design studio under his name to focus full-time on his passion of creating functional art. He has since enjoyed much success exhibiting his works around the world including at the Aram Gallery in London in 2011. In 2012, Il Hoon Roh was selected as a Next Generation Design Leader by the KIDP/Ministry of Knowledge Economy in S. Korea.
