About Emily Chang

From a young age, I’ve believed in learning from the best to elevate my craft. After studying at Cooper Union and pursuing a degree in economics and mathematics at Columbia University, I was captivated by the intricate interplay of human behavior and resources. This journey was driven by my desire to blend my love for math with meaningful impact.

A chance encounter with a painter in NYC shifted my path, leading me to Paris, where I connected with Francois Perrin, a theoretical architect. With his encouragement, I applied to SCI-Arc in Southern California with a nontraditional portfolio and began my architectural journey.

Graduate school at SCI-Arc transformed my understanding of design, emphasizing not just emotional responses but also occupant engagement and wellness. A visit to Vals Thermal Baths in Switzerland underscored architecture’s power to evoke deep experiences, guiding my work to resonate with users.

As the founder of Local Parti, I focus on new residential constructions, high-end interiors, and cultural spaces, prioritizing natural light and sustainable practices. Let’s collaborate to create spaces that reflect your vision and resonate deeply.

How we work

Local materials and methodologies are critical to any project’s success.

Life is often fast and full. Let your environment be slow and spacious, offering more than beauty. A connection to your community, an understanding you have the ability to enhance your greater environment.

Through the design process we will discuss options to find a tailored fit, your perfect moment, where beauty, craft and altruism meet.
