Balance

Balance: The Architecture of Worrell Yeung reflects the New York-based firm’s pursuit of harmony—between old and new, architecture and landscape, and material clarity and richness. Across residential, commercial, and cultural work, Worrell Yeung has developed an architecture of clarity, precision, and quiet rigor, creating spaces that balance pragmatism with moments of discovery. Organised into four thematic sections, Balance features a curated selection of the firm’s projects—such as Ridge Barn and House (Columbia County, NY), Rhode Island Farm (Charlestown, RI), and Evergreens Cemetery (Brooklyn, NY)—presented through large-scale photography, sketches, construction details, and process narratives. The monograph offers a multidimensional portrait of the practice, foregrounding both the finished work and the creative and construction processes that shape it. Featuring essays by David Sokol and Jack Murphy, as well as conversations with Jeffrey Longhenry, Michael Rock, Susan Sellers, and Kara Walker, the book captures the evolution of Worrell Yeung’s practice and the philosophy that guides it: a commitment to finding—and celebrating—equilibrium.
