Kim鈥檚 Teashop and Dedham Residence win 2025 BSA Design Awards

Myoungkeun Kim, AIA, Assistant Professor of Architecture and Principal at Fish Design and Architecture LLC (FDA), Boston, has won two 2025 Boston Society of Architects Design Awards. Kim鈥檚 Teashop in Boston received a Merit Award for Interior Architecture for the storefront shop located in a large multifamily housing in Boston.
The Awards Jury noted that 鈥渢he project makes great use of space, especially the ceiling plane approach that works with existing services. Excellent detailing throughout, as everything is distinguished and carefully resolved.鈥 His Dedham Residence addition demonstrates how small interventions can generate new program, integrate light in constrained interiors, and embody design rigor and spatial inventiveness within typical residential budgets. The Awards Jury found that 鈥淭his addition to a historic house thoughtfully balances old and new, blending seamlessly into the streetscape while enriching everyday residential life. Subtle, strategic moves such as the light well, glass-enclosed passage, and cantilevered wood-frame volume address privacy, daylight, and phased construction.鈥
