J.M.Lin Architect / The Observer is a “research-based” team, which earnestly abide by the creed to “observe before design,” because it is out belief that only by knowing the place and his historical context, culture and past events, can we generate the optimum spatial design that is comprehensive and inspiring.
J.M.Lin Architect, P.C. was founded in New York in 1995 and re-established in New York in 2006. J.M. Lin Architect / The Observer Design Group was founded in Taipei since 1997. Jou Min Lin is the principal architect for both offices. Currently, there are 50 personnel in the office, whose talent and creativity are exemplified in architectural design, interior design, landscape design, graphic design, communication design and research-based design. Our office strives for lasting value in architecture and design: value that accommodates our daily life and inspires our ultimate desire. Our solutions are coherent and logical, yet all engaged with emotions and individual stories. Our works in the office expand in a wide variety of building types. Projects may vary in scale or in budgets, but our aim to embellish and to preserve the beauty of architectural objects stay the same.
