    Inspiration: Having lived in China, Germany, and the U.S, I have observed how the customs, history, and philosophies of a society shape its physical spaces. I am interested in applying cross-cultural principles in understanding clients and designing spaces that are functional, natural, and personal.

    Inspiration: Minimal design and clean lines or gritty post-industrial abandoned objects. Individually, they capture my attention, but combined they capture my imagination. I love being around dynamic and creative people that challenge me and show me new unexpected possibilities.

    Inspiration: The organizational logic of Chinese ancient gardens creates a feeling of infinity within a limited space.

    Inspiration: The often overlooked slivers of in-between spaces of buildings and how the forced perspective frames a city and/or landscape; the play between the texture of building materials and patterned light; multicultural narratives of talented and fanatical individuals.

    Inspiration: Travel. While studying in Paris, France, I was able to experience a particular favorite – the Maison de Verre by Pierre Chareau & Bernard Bijvoet. I see this as an architectural work expressing truth in material and internal adaptability that was years ahead of its time.

    Inspiration: Chicago, where I grew up, with its rich history of modern architecture. And today, I draw inspiration from Oakland, with its cultural diversity, as well as travel to memorable sites such as the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul.

Our design combines exuberance and rigor, modernism and urbanism. With each project, whether urban or rural, we consider the larger framework in which the building fits—the living context. That includes nearby structures as well as ecological, social, political, economic, and regulatory layers.

Our clients appreciate that our designs not only have flair, but also arise from a deep understanding of the finer points of building codes. We see all spaces in the urban environment as linked to each other, ripe for activation and capable of serving a variety of purposes.

We believe in tying together big-picture thinking with small-scale finesse.

Two new infill buildings, each with two new homes. A modernist blend of the two patterns that exist in the neighborhood: crisp, flat-roofed structures set at the street wall, tall gables set back and up-hill into the block.

Eccentric! It seems the footings of Warehouse #6 w Eccentric!
It seems the footings of Warehouse #6 were originally placed on grade which was incrementally washed out by the bay, then shored up.  A slice of the original Douglas fir piles are visible.
