Initially focused on conceptual competitions, the studio has since evolved to specialize in residential projects, prefabricated vacation hotels, and installations, seamlessly bridging creativity and practical construction across its New York and Shanghai teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of &#8220;HAVE&#8221; is derived from the initials of the founding members&#8217; names and conveys their passion for design: &#8220;Whenever and wherever we are, we have design, and we have architecture.&#8221; No matter the time or place, we can still generate great ideas and innovative designs\u2014that&#8217;s the essence of what &#8216;HAVE&#8217; means.\u000bHAVE Studio was founded by classmates through college and graduate school, sharing six years of study together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This long journey built a strong understanding of each other&#8217;s strengths and a shared passion for architecture. After graduation, each founder pursued a unique path in the industry: Hilary moved into large-scale urban design, Vivien specialized in residential spaces, April and Nan gained experience in full-process design and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond architecture, each founder developed interests in fields like new media, curating, multimedia production, and IP development. Eventually, they realized that combining their skills would allow them to enter competitions both in China and internationally. After winning several awards, they gained the confidence to officially launch HAVE Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their cross-disciplinary approach was well-received, attracting more talented individuals to join. Now, HAVE Studio is expanding beyond concept design and competition to focus on new construction and installation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They believe that architecture and interior design provide a unique opportunity to blend creativity with practicality, enabling them to transform ideas into tangible experiences. Their passion for the field stems from a deep fascination with how spaces can shape experiences and influence emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a young age, they were captivate by the beauty and functionality of well-designed environments. Leading them to pursue a career where they could create spaces that not only serve a purpose but also inspire and connect people. Ultimately, they are drive by the desire to positively impact lives through thoughtful design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>HAVE Studio was founding in New York by three principal designers from China. All with similar educational backgrounds in architecture and urban planning from USC and Columbia University. After several years in the architecture industry, they established HAVE Studio in 2019. Initially focusing on architectural competition projects driven by a desire to realize their design ideals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2021, the studio had already received numerous awards for architectural concepts and installation designs. As the studio evolved, the focus shifted toward practical construction projects. Primarily concentrating on residential designs, small-scale prefabricated vacation hotels, and hotel developments. Today, HAVE Studio operates with teams in both New York and Shanghai. Allowing for a dynamic blend of diverse perspectives and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nyarchitectureawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=270\" target=\"_blank\"
