SAN FRANCISCO - ARCHITECTURE & SOCIAL RESEARCH

Not yet defined, yet deeply rooted.


OUR STORY

We treat design as a cultural practice — and ask how space can hold human dignity.

YET Office is a San Francisco–based architecture and research studio founded by Yilin Zhang and Yixuan Liu, working at the intersection of architecture, social research, and humanistic inquiry.

Our inquiry-driven approach goes beyond the production of buildings, asking how the built environment can support ethical relationships, belonging, and meaningful coexistence within shared space.
