West Chin, the principal architect behind WCA is known for his distinctly modern commercial and residential work. West Chin founded a design/build firm in 1992, which became the foundation for his architectural practice WCA. He maintains a design philosophy that combines style with functionality, utilizing minimal, clean lines to create fluid, light-filled, spacious environments. His work includes
high-end commercial and residential projects for fashion clients, artists, entertainers and entrepreneurs garnering press from magazines to design books. Selected by New York magazine as one of “The City’s 100 Best Architects and Decorators”, West topped Interior Design magazine’s industry list as “Kitchen & Bath Design Leader”, and was chosen by New York Spaces magazine to be included in their annual “10 under 40: New Faces of Design”. WCA launched a modern furniture and accessory collection under the name FTF Design Studio in 2006. The collection is an extension of the custom designs that West and Roseann created for their private clients. The products are available at the FTF Design Studio showroom in Manhattan, as well as select retailers nationwide and online.
