High-performance Homes for Modern Living
PATRICIA CHEN ARCHITECTURE


Hi.
I'm Patricia Chen, but most people call me Patty.
I believe a home should reflect the people who live there and be built to serve them well for decades. That belief guides my residential practice, where architectural ambition and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
I’ve led complex projects ranging from Olympic pavilions and Super Bowl planning to performing arts centers. But I always return to residential design, the work I love most. I enjoy the close collaboration with clients and the opportunity to follow a design through to its smallest details, bringing my experience to a more personal scale.
My commitment to high-performance homes comes from caring about human health and the natural world. It informs decisions about materials, energy, comfort, and resilience as an intrinsic part of beautiful design. I help clients understand what’s possible and make informed choices, creating homes that express their personalities while meeting the demands of a changing climate.
