Atelier XI is an architecture design practice founded in 2017 by Xi Chen in New York City, currently based in Shenzhen, China. With their work focusing on public and cultural projects at various scales, they are attentive to the needs of diverse groups. The studio aspires to create spaces that bring unique poetry and profoundness to contemporary urban and rural environments. They believe that each space, grand or tiny, is a clue to the vastness of our world, and a testimony to the glory of everyday life. By planting these quiet and resilient spaces one at a time, they envision architecture to branch out and blossom with life and narratives.
