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: 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.

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.
