To regard design as our language,

talking with project, environment, object.

Tell story through design, build space and preserve memory.

The design is the value carrier accumulated by our past practice.

It is the way to obtain facts, opinions and conclusions through research-based design. The connotation of design work is to define problems, propose problems and solve problems.

The design approach is based on the key elements of construction(Light, space, sense of place, materiality and spirituality of materials). Focus on the construction method, material engineering, follow the crafts. Through the space arrangement to define the experience sequence, layout motion line, axis, depth of field, hierarchy. All the construction issues are for the purpose of echo people’s emotion.

We pay attention to the characteristics of climate, regional culture and daily life; Taking light, construction volume and material texture as the basis to interpret and transform the space essence. Attaching importance to the construction technology, the local culture, integrate elements of regional characteristics; Through clear and concise design language to achieve balance  for universal value and commercial purposes.

In the philosophy of YAN Design, the most important value of objects lies in the edge between of the essence; Innovation comes from the concern and study of boundaries; The dimensions of boundary relate emotion, reason and imagination; These three coordinates are the origin and destination of defining the meaning and building values in Yan Design's works.
