Purpose-Driven Design: The Journey of Po-Kai Yang

A New Chapter in Life

The journey of a young couple—a designer and a flight attendant—has reached an exciting milestone as they prepare to welcome a new addition to their family and transition into their newly acquired home. Their objective is to develop an environment that harmonizes comfort with aesthetic appeal while effectively addressing the needs of individuals across various age groups.

In selecting my university major, I received encouragement from my church pastor to pursue a degree in interior design. Following my graduation, I became a member of the interior design firm where I am currently employed. I find fulfillment in the creativity of the field, the opportunities for continuous learning, and the ability to engage with a diverse range of spaces, ensuring that my work remains stimulating and varied.

We strive to create something beautiful by adhering to principles of integrity, responsibility, and teamwork. Our commitment is to provide thoughtful and dedicated service to every client.

The client expressed a preference for a minimalist design style incorporating curved elements, which posed several technical challenges. These challenges included the modification of beams, the installation of concealed air conditioning systems, and the design of arched ceilings.

Furthermore, due to the client's considerable height, it was imperative to ensure sufficient headroom to avoid a cramped atmosphere within the space. Addressing these design specifications required extensive communication and collaboration with contractors to achieve the desired outcome effectively.

The client, who is a graphic designer, placed a higher emphasis on aesthetics than on functionality. Prior to engaging our services, he had already assembled an extensive collection of styles and references. Our objective became the curation of public spaces, integrating his preferred elements to accurately reflect his personal style with precision.

Beautiful, dream, and fulfilled.

This award signifies that the aspirations of our clients can indeed be realized. With the unwavering support of our dedicated team, we are positioned to collectively navigate and overcome each challenge that arises.

Designing a new church for my congregation! The old church witnessed my growth, my early career, and even my wedding. I hope the new church will continue to support the next generation through all their major life stages.

In our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, we are actively transforming our construction practices and material selections. Our objective is to achieve aesthetic excellence while simultaneously demonstrating care for the planet we inhabit.

By minimizing waste and pollution.

I’d love to design a treehouse in outer space—a vibrant oasis amid the vast emptiness. It would bask in sunlight 24 hours a day, experience eternal spring, and offer peace, serenity, and the most magnificent view of all: Earth.
