excerpt from the AIA press release:
Jinhee Park and the firm she co-founded—Single Speed Design—are widely published, including being awarded the first Metropolis Next Generation Prize. “Park is among those few uncommon young architects whose contributions and skills will shape our profession for decades to come,” writes Diane Georgopulos, FAIA, on behalf of the Boston Society of Architects nomination. The firm’s Big Dig House (2006), in Massachusetts, drew particular acclaim from Susan S. Szenasy, Metropolis editor in chief. “Their project, recycling the remnants of Boston’s Big Dig into beautiful housing, so impressed the judges that the proposal, happily, came to represent the high standards we have since then put on our awards program,” Szenasy writes.

I just made the connection – single speed is SsD! duh… I thought I was following the work of 2 different firms!… I have to admit there is a marked difference in the aesthetics before and after your young architect’s award. it seems you started with wood and massive like the big dig and you’re now moving to light and white. just an observation that makes me wonder… maybe its when you started using the initials? or maybe too much late night hypothesizing on my part.
