Chloe was born and raised in a builder’s family in Southern China. She moved to the U.S. at 16 to pursue her education and was awarded a full scholarship to The Cooper Union, one of the most prestigious Schools of architecture and art of its time, where she studied architecture and graduated with the School’s top honor: the Excellence in Architecture Award.

Named among the Top 30 Under 30 Chinese Americans, Chloe has worked on various design projects—from high-end commercial spaces and museums to private residences.

Over the past four years, she has designed nearly 100 homes and overseen multiple luxury residential projects from concept to construction. She listens and empathizes with clients and respects the local setting of each project. She believes that architecture is the story of people and places in physical form.

Gabriel is passionate about building science and believes a scientific solution is also an aesthetic one. The correct answer should be beautiful. With his skills and experiences, from large commercial and infrastructure projects to technological development, he sees the building through layers of scale.

A true polymath, Gabriel is also an inventor who sees architecture as a vehicle for technological advancement. He has built two large-scale 3D printers capable of fabricating furniture and actively codes and develops AI-powered tools and architectural software. He is currently leading the development of our in-house design platform.
