Project Stories
A look into the 'how' and 'why' behind each project, from concept to execution.
project: park
The Goal
A living lab where ideas grow into robust technology. From kernel and system design to languages and infrastructure, we craft foundations that deliver fast, dependable experiences in everyday life.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Established core foundations across kernel, systems, language, and infrastructure, and built a platform architecture that enables fast, reliable user experiences.
project: canvas
The Goal
We translate unseen sensibilities into an honest visual language. Across photography, design, film, and illustration, we guide art direction and image-making end to end.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Established an end-to-end art direction system and cohesive visual assets across photography, design, film, and illustration.
project: sound
The Goal
We turn the heart's voice into songs and share them with the world. We blend modern production with analog warmth so each artist’s voice reaches listeners in the most genuine way.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Defined a music production pipeline that balances modern production and analog warmth, crafting sounds that let each artist’s voice come through honestly.
project: story
The Goal
We publish stories across books and essays, including branded narratives. Through thoughtful writing and editorial craft, we shape long‑form content with context and emotion.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Established a publishing and editorial pipeline, refining brand voice and delivering long‑form content that resonates with clarity and beauty.
project: teaser
The Goal
Build the digital front door of STUDIO HAZE, a hub where the four divisions and their projects connect in one natural flow.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Completed a hybrid Next.js architecture that serves static pages and dynamic content together, keeping loads fast and interactions rich. It now runs as the very site you are looking at.
project: atlas
The Goal
Build a cloud-based automatic typesetting system that combines the Knuth–Plass line-breaking algorithm with a Hangul-native shaping engine, so self-publishers and independent presses can produce book-quality results without design outsourcing.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Completed a deterministic typesetting pipeline in Rust, hosted on cloud infrastructure, that converts mixed Korean-English manuscripts into print-ready PDFs.
project: lispex
The Goal
Design and build Lispex, a deterministic, macro-free language in the R7RS family. The goal is a language whose grammar, normalization rules, reference interpreter, and documentation never drift apart.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Shipped the Rust reference interpreter covering the R7RS-small base, with trilingual docs kept honest by a golden oracle, where every example must match the interpreter output. Within its checked subset it serves as the source language of Core Semantic Kernel.
project: topaz
The Goal
Design and build Topaz as an independent programming language focused on expressive, high-clarity code. The goal is to let intent lead structure while giving STUDIO HAZE a practical language for its own engineering work.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Delivered an independent language where intent leads structure and clarity remains central. It runs right in the browser at topaz.ooo, and the twenty-plus jeniapp tools are written entirely in it, proving real use.
project: lena
The Goal
Build Lena Code as a commercial multi-language code transformation platform. It performs M:N transformation on the Lena Engine, an engine of our own, and the goal is to keep meaning intact across languages in a verifiable way.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Built and operates the transformation pipeline on the Lena Engine, our proprietary engine, providing cross-language transformation, refactoring, and explanations of each transform in one flow.
project: kernel
The Goal
Build Core Semantic Kernel as STUDIO HAZE’s official research programme. The goal is a way of working where every decision is made by deterministic rules and leaves a receipt that can be verified offline, with the results recorded as papers and patents.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Shipped the public reference with deterministic rule profiles, decision receipts, offline verification, and full replay, and grew the programme into three research lines covering evidence, language, and orchestration. Six papers from these lines went out to international workshops in 2026 and sit on the public shelf, and the Lena Engine behind Lena Code is designed on the same verification principles.
project: vercel
The Goal
Build the runtime that lets a fleet of heterogeneous AI agents work on one codebase around the clock. The goal is to decompose a request into a typed execution graph, route every subtask by capability profile, and let cross-agent consensus decide what ships.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Runs today at vercel.co.kr as active research infrastructure. The harness coordinates the studio’s autonomous development farm, and the discipline it enforces has quietly become the default way the studio builds.
project: monster
The Goal
Give the private half of STUDIO HAZE a public face without opening a single repository. The goal is a vitrine where each private repo appears as a living specimen with its commit pulse, language mix, and verifiable receipts, disclosed strictly by allowlist.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Live at slow.monster. Eight specimens publish their vitals automatically on every push, the ledger and the observation log grow on their own, and the first disclosed files can be read in place exactly as they exist at HEAD.
project: kakao
The Goal
Experiment with brand storytelling through a mini web game, designing an interactive experience where people meet the brand by playing it.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Built and shipped Domain War, a strategy mini web game weaving web tech and game mechanics together, testing play itself as a marketing channel.
project: jeniapp
The Goal
Put PARK’s own language, Topaz, to real-world use through a public tool suite. The goal is to write twenty-plus mini apps, from games to documents, data, and algorithms, entirely in Topaz, ship them as a single WebAssembly, and run them deterministically in the browser with no server.
Key Tech Stack
Key Outcome
Shipped twenty-plus tools to jeni.kr, growing the language each time an app exposed a gap in it. Every tool carries a “View Topaz source” button that reveals the exact code, proving that PARK’s language technology carries all the way into shipping products.
