Studio Panko is named in honor of Mr. Panko, our African Sulcata tortoise. His journey taught us that a home is more than an aesthetic—it is a vital, warm shelter designed for the life within. We bring this philosophy of intentional shelter to the Pacific Northwest, fusing the "Warm Minimalism" of Seoul with craftsmanship built to endure.
