Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects

Honored with the AIA National Firm Award for 2015, Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects (EYRC) is a versatile practice that has earned an international reputation for design excellence and an exemplary professional culture. Founded in 1979 as a tiny residential studio, the Los Angeles-based firm is a 40 member team where modern, residential design is core to our practice. Focusing on the design of new, single family residences, EYRC works closely with clients to develop their vision, consistently paying attention to the particularities of people and place. The residential studio is led by Founding Partner Steven Ehrlich, and Residential Studio Director + Lead Designer Takashi Yanai. Steven and Takashi see each project as a unique challenge, and come to each project with an almost anthropological approach. Several of our most noteworthy residential projects include the 700 Palms Residence, the McElroy Residence, and the Carrillo Residence (all located on the California coast). EYRC has also designed homes in places like Texas, New York, Dubai. EYRC has been recognized with eight other national AIA awards, the California Firm of the Year in 2003, and more than 150 other design honors.
