His architectural research involves high tech portable capsule habitats that explore the relationship between man and nature from an eastern philosophical point of view while utilizing 21st century technologies to create bionic systems that are ecologically harmonious.

His sculptural artworks, or environmental designs, explore dimensions of levitation, stillness, or ganzfeld through minimalist futuristic spaces that act as frames for art, nature and the perceptual landscape.

His works have been presented at New Langton Arts, Yale Architecture Gallery and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Publications include Zyzzyva, Surface, Mark (Frame) and Damn.

He currently serves on the board of directors for New Langton Arts.

As a young boy, Kyu Che landed in Santa Monica, California having crossed the Pacific Ocean from his ancestral home in Korea. He grew up skateboarding and surfing along the California coast, combining his cross cultural heritage with an open minded and sunny west coast lifestyle.
