Korea Blind Church, refurbished by Yeil Design Group.

Yeil Design Group is named after the word “yeil,” meaning truth and praise, so the design group’s foremost corporate values are to achieve truth and praise through humanity-oriented entrepreneurship. Yeil Design Group, a design-cum-construction company leader specializing in the construction of churches is exploring new sources of revenue after relocating its headquarters in Seoul from Nonhyeon-dong to an expanded space in Yeoksam-dong. To this end, Yeil Design Group has recruited a bevy of professionals educated in France and other advanced countries as well as specialists from Samsung and other conglomerates in Korea to catapult it to new heights from a big picture perspective.  

Yeil ventured into the remodeling of churches last year. The company renovated the old structure of the Myungsung Church in Myeongil-dong, southeastern Seoul. Yeil, which was also charged with the construction of the church’s new structure and World Gloria Center, has transformed the church into a new space under the concept “Futuristic Space for the Future Generation.”

In the course of remodeling Kwanglim Church in Shinsa-dong, Seoul, Yeil culminated its aesthetics to levels of artistic works in every nook and corner of the church ranging from floor to door in accordance with sophisticated design. Gocheok Presbyterian Church in Gocheok-dong, Seoul, built in an oval shape, which is a difficult environment for audio design, was converted into a brand new church outfitted with the foremost audio facilities. 

First of all, Yeil Design Group boasts of a perfect system combining creative and innovative planning, design, and seamless construction management services. The company receives a flood of inquiries and consultations from prospective construction clients who are making the most of the booming construction of new hotels in Seoul and other major cities. 

In 1991, Yeil made its debut as an interior design and construction company. The company has grown into a construction leader specializing in the construction of churches. Yeil has been involved in the design and construction of 100 churches. The company renovated the interiors of the Sae Eden Presbyterian Church, Myungsung Church, Somang Presbyterian Church, Jeju Sungan Church, Chungwoon Presbyterian Church, and Wooridle Church. 

When constructing churches, Yeil attaches top priority to the function of open spaces with the goal of creating the most beautiful church space. Yeil President & CEO Lee Sun-ja said, “Space design should be a genre of aesthetics designed to enhance the quality of lives one step higher by transcending mere utilization of space.” She went on to say, “It’s more important for the church to become a place to live together with neighborhood residents and a space to comfort and heal them.” 

Yeil sticks to the principles of nurturing top-rated technology and doing its utmost in overcoming the difficulties until completion to meet clients’ needs. 

Her tenets behind the construction of churches are attributable to Yeil winning diverse prizes. The company received the Beautiful Church Construction Grand Prize, an award from the Korean Institute of Architects, the Mission Award from the Kookmin Daily and the Creative Entre-preneur's Award from the Small and Medium Business Corp.

President Lee, who is a deaconess of the Sae Eden Presbyterian Church, has a mission of establishing churches. She said she strives to understand the heart of those who donate church buildings beyond the construction of churches. 

Yeil’s one-stop solutions to handle the construction of churches and their interiors simultaneously have led to a reduction in the construction period and costs in consideration of the churches’ economical aspects and a swift response to design changes.

The company is accelerating its efforts to expand its overseas presence to become a global church construction leader. Yeil has signed MOUs with global church contractors, including Beck Group, which built such famous church buildings as Fellowship Church and the Prestonwood Baptist Church. 

Yeil plans to travel to churches making strides in the United States and analyze how the construction of churches has a positive impact on their growth. 

The company is conducting a social contribution drive to put into practice a spirit of sharing love by returning some of its revenues to society. Yeil provides financial support to Christian missionaries offering a helping hand to the poor in Africa as well as multi-racial families and poor neighbors in Korea.
