Although Atelier GOM is still a small company with a dozen people, it is an old company with a rich history of growth. From FROM25 Studio to GOM Architectural Design Co., Ltd. and finally to the completion of the internationalization of Atelier GOM, the three processes have been created unconsciously, and the only thing that has remained unchanged in these transformations is the realism of GOM's design philosophy.
Although GOM's management is very strict, the personal touch of the leaders and the demanding nature of each design make this team not a company that wins with size. This reality is something that the leaders of GOM have long been familiar with.
GOM has always believed in a realist design philosophy, advocating a straightforward and pragmatic understanding of architecture, opposing overly complex theories and formal squabbles in architectural design, believing that the essence of architecture is to build, and advocating that architects have a calm mindset. It is only with such an original stance that one can find oneself in the midst of chaotic and complicated imitations.
The original meaning of GOM is derived from a position in the magical game of Go, which is meant to emphasize on potential rather than profit, in simple words, focusing on development rather than seeking for immediate profit, perhaps the original meaning of the name determines the corporate culture of GOM.
GOM's growth determines the company's realistic design philosophy. Of course, some romantic designs will be produced at any time in the process, but whether they are realized or not depends on the external situation and the owner's idea, as the architect's own interest, in a certain project, a design will be produced by the architect's own design in the multi-option comparison, although these designs will not be adopted, but the enjoyment of the process to maintain the excitement of the architects and improve the professionalism of GOM has been finding a balance between reality and romanticism. GOM is always looking for a balance between reality and romance.
