Between Spaces and Objects
Studio Paul Chan is an
architecture and design studio creating bespoke spaces and objects in Los Angeles. With a profound belief in designs that satisfy rational and poetic needs, the studio approaches each project with a delicate balance - between lightness and shadows, between precision and imperfection,
between reason and intuition.
