GENOME Architects and Design

Yen studied Architecture at National University of Singapore, then at Columbia University, New York. In this time, she had been selected for annual exhibitions and publications. Upon graduating with a Masters of Architecture, she received an award for ‘Excellence in Design’ given by Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University.

From 2004 to 2009, Yen worked on local and overseas projects in Eco.id Design Consultancy. Ranging from smaller scale local commercial projects and residences, Yen moved on to become an Associate, co-leading the team with her Director. Focusing on larger overseas hospitality projects, some key projects Yen was involved in at this time include Marriott Hotel Poolside Villas Singapore, Luxury Safari Resort at Abu Dhabi, 6-star Seaside Resort in Koh Samui, and Beach Resort at Saadiyat Beach, Abu Dhabi.

Yen’s exposure in this time required traveling to work with international Owners, Hotel Operators and Consultants. This in turn honed her design skills from the intimate, residential scale of a villa to larger scale resort planning and design...GENOME Architects and Design
