A.R.C. (Atelier Ruofan Chen) is an architecture and design studio founded in Los Angeles, with regional offices in Shenzhen and Chengdu. We specialize in urban design, architectural design, and interior design, combining a global perspective with locally grounded expertise.
As a multidisciplinary design consultancy practicing across urban design, architecture, landscape, and interiors, A.R.C. explores new possibilities for the relationship between people, nature, and society through spatial and architectural strategies. Grounded in a deep understanding of client needs and project context, we focus on the native conditions of design and construction—embracing the uniqueness and complexity of each site. Guided by research and enabled by technology, we pursue design solutions that are both sincere and thought-provoking.
