MKCA - Michael K. Chen Architecture

MKCA is an architecture practice providing innovative and superbly crafted work for clients seeking thoughtful and considered design. We have experience designing and building at a diverse range of scales and bring an ultra-refined sensibility and attention to detail to projects ranging from individual micro apartments to entire buildings.

Our approach is deeply informed by curiosity and a love of tinkering, of drawing, of discourse, and of making. Our methods and capabilities are at the leading edge of design, analysis, manufacturing, and construction, but we strive to produce exceptional experiences, intricately choreographed spaces, and works that are unexpected, hyper-useful, intelligent, and full of delight.

Our clients are individuals, businesses, and organizations and are the beneficiaries of a design approach and capabilities that are at the leading edge of analysis, design, manufacturing, and construction.

The office’s work and research have been widely published in The New York Times, Dwell, Interior Design, House and Garden, in publications in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. MKCA’s work has been exhibited internationally, including as part of the 2012 Venice Biennale of Architecture.
