is a design-research studio reimagining infrastructure.

We work at the intersection of ecological systems and built environments, transforming marine waste into modular architectural components that serve dual purposes: protecting shorelines while utilizing what nature provides.

This approach extends beyond infrastructure. YEN Studio practices a holistic design philosophy where every project, whether a coastal intervention or an architectural shelter, embodies the same principle: work with nature's logic, not against it. Our architectural work reflects the refined, material-driven sensibility, inseparable from their landscapes.

Founded by Dr. Teri Watson, the studio focuses on the future of coastal sustainability, viewing marine waste as a problem to a resource. Based in Miami, YEN Studio operates as both a studio and a research lab, where traditional architectural services meet experimental material science.
