Grace H. Kim is a Member at Cohousing Association of the Us. She possess expertise in architecture, sustainable design, architectural design, mixed use, aia and 11 more skills. She is proficient in Korean, Spanish (basic). Colleagues describe her as "I contacted Grace about taking over a project that was underway--not the most glamorous project for a firm to take on. Her team's work was instrumental in the rest of the project; my partner and I frequently comment that we don't know how we would have gotten through this without them. In brief, what should have been "the home stretch" turned into "the beginning" thanks to several major and unforeseeable issues. It was an incredibly stressful time for us, and under her leadership, her team was able to pivot quickly and calmly at every new issue, bringing pragmatic and cost-effective solutions without losing creativity. Grace personally jumped in to negotiate a sticky issue with our contractor; she did so with diplomacy and directness and the work she did paid clear dividends throughout the remainder of the project. I love the way the team works collaboratively, bringing the best thinking to the table on issues that demand it. And somehow they do that in an incredibly efficient manner. All of the individuals we worked with were high-integrity and high-quality. I could not be happier with this partnership and would recommend Schemata without hesitation." and "I worked with Grace throughout the design and construction of the Daybreak Cohousing project in Portland, OR. Grace is an extremely talented, creative, and practical architect. She did an excellent job of advocating for the best interests of her client while also showing a great deal of respect and collaborative good will towards the contractor. As a team, we successfully navigated many challenging design and construction issues. I would welcome to opportunity to work with Grace again in the future."
