YIFU DESIGN STUDIO

Founded in 2021 by Architect Yifu Pan, our studio began with a focus on residential architecture and has since expanded to a range of services to meet the unique needs of California communities.

Yifu Design Studio - About Us

With over a decade of experience in commercial and residential projects, Architect Yifu Pan brings a deep understanding of architectural design, local codes, technical details, and construction administration expertise to our studio. This allows us to provide high-quality design solutions that address issues and questions related to design specifications and navigating complex regulations. We also partner with reputable financing companies to provide more options and flexibility for our customers, ensuring a seamless experience from planning to permitting.

Pushing the boundaries of architectural design

We don’t just create beautiful spaces – we push the boundaries of architectural design to create affordable solutions. We advocate for our clients every step of the way – from initial planning to completion of permits. We partner with the community: realtors lenders, vendors, and planners to offer a seamless experience, and provide viable development options for our customers. Our goal is to help our clients achieve their vision for their dream space, while making the process more affordable.

We acknowledge the California housing crisis.

We founded Yifu Design Studio with a focus on Accessory Dwelling Units and SB 9 Development. We believe that ADU, SB 9, and the legislation that support them are a crucial step towards affordable housing. Our work in residential architecture is based on one principle: We design for families. We believe that sustainable and affordable housing starts with family-centered architecture.

We design, permit, and advocate. We believe architecture that elevates the human experience should be simple and affordable. This approach enables us to make meaningful designs to a range of project types, from accessory dwelling units to residential, landscape, and commercial developments. Our designs are characterized by minimalist, modern, and functional concepts that emphasizes on the family experience, ensuring that our designs are not only aesthetic but also practical and comfortable. We are committed to supporting affordable housing and creating commercial spaces that enables the community.
