B A C K G R O U N D
Arctangent Architecture + Design originated in New York City in the beginning of 1994. The two founding partners Kyle Chia-Kai Yang and Keitaro Nei have since expanded their offices in both Taipei and New York respectfully. Initially focusing on design intensive interior projects, the two offices are now concentrating on significant ground-up commissions on both sides of the world. Our projects have been published in major publications in the US, Taiwan and Japan.
