Contextual Modern: Architecture+Interior for Modern Living in Context

Our Design Approach Two in One: Architectural and Interior Design We knock down walls, tear down houses, dig trenches, and pick couch and paint colors, all in one office. In our practice, we believe there is no line between architecture, interior design and landscape/site design. Many of our projects morphed from one type to the other during the process. Our design and construction experiences in the above three areas give us the unique edge to deliver a home with comfort, performance and appealing aesthetics. Contextual Modern Modernists at heart, we emphasize flow and use of natural light. At the same time, we are sensitive to the character of the surrounding of the project. Our goal is to create modern living with respect to its setting and architectural context. Individualized Collaborative Our design process is individualized and collaborative. We respect the lifestyle and vision of each individual family. Detail oriented, we help clients with comprehensive planning during design and construction process. We believe that with thorough and careful planning, every project can be done on time and on budget.

Ying Li helped us to design and renovate a beautiful and modern master bathroom. Ying Li's design expertise was crucial in making our dream bathroom come to life - modern, open, spacious, light; and with additional, sleek and necessary, storage. Ying Li provided excellent guidance on tiles and all aspects of design, and her communication with us through every step of the process was superb. We highly recommend Ying Li!

Ying was the architect on an addition we put on our house. We definitely wanted a modern aesthetic, which Ying helped us achieve. She also helped us tailor the new space to our specific needs. Ying was always very responsive and collaborated well with the GC and designer.

We loved working with Ying. She designed a completely new home for us when we knocked down the old property and rebuilt. As well as guiding us through the local town regulations, her vision was in sync with ours every step of the way, we liked every design she came up with and she made us think about the project in new and creative ways. She understood our needs as a family as well as our aesthetic. As a family of four, with two of us working from home, the home she designed for us ended up surpassing our expectations, helping us live and co-exist in ways we couldn't have imagined from the plans, with surprising design details that came to life when the house was built. We love our new home so much and we would not hesitate to recommend Ying to anyone embarking on a home renovation project.

We worked with Ying for our house expansion and we are very happy. She is competent and available. I liked her ability to understand my view and how she guided me to keep the project consistent and true to the house. She worked fast and was very professional whenever issues arose. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Ying as an architect for your project. She is extremely talented, professional, generous of her time and highly intelligent. We are thrilled with our master bathroom addition! We couldn't have done it without her.

We hired Ying to add a second story addition onto our 1964 ranch, add a master bathroom and closet extension, and renovate our main floor and basement. The additions are seamless both inside and out. Our main floor was redesigned to accommodate an open floor plan with a remodeled kitchen. Ying offered a lot of creative solutions that maximized the changes we wanted while keeping us within budget. Most importantly, Ying allowed the design process to be collaborative to ensure that our project was exactly what we wanted. During the build process Ying was always available to come on site and answer questions.

Excellent architect with an eye for maximizing space, working around space constraints and creating great flow, especially in the main living area. She designed a major expansion for us and was very attentive to our needs and what we wanted out of the space. Whereas some architects are too focused on design at the expense of practical function, Ying found the perfect balance for us. She handled all the bathroom design elements so we didn't need a separate designer for that and she helped guide the kitchen design, which I think helped to make these important spaces more cohesive to the overall plan. She was especially good at a floor plan for a busy family with kids and a home that is designed for entertaining. I also appreciated that she was available for consultation throughout the renovation process and even collaborated with our contractor on key elements like spacing and materials to be sure everything was done right.
