Christine Chan Architecture is a full-service firm specializing in residential architectural design in the Washington metropolitan area. Projects have been featured in Atomic Ranch and The Washington Post.

With a background in Chinese painting and architectural training in Chicago, Christine brings a sensible design approach to each project while maintaining its original integrity. Her design style is serene and timeless with an intuitive understanding of space and light. Christine works intimately with all her clients and helps them navigate through the complex process of design and construction to realize their ideas. Since establishing her practice in 2008, every project has been through client referral.

Christine earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, including a year of study in Versailles, France. During her time practicing architecture in Chicago and Los Angeles, she worked on a variety of building types from high-end condominiums to mixed-use high rises and museums.

Christine finds inspiration in Washington’s European planning, and still marvels at the cascade of spring and fall colors here. In her free time, Christine enjoys taking her corgi on long walks, practicing yoga, and spending time with her family and friends. She and her husband, also an architect, love traveling with their two children and introducing them to different cultures, cuisines, and architecture.
