Studio Becker Xu is an award-winning architecture & interior design studio based in Chicago, IL that explores design across scales – through buildings, interiors, furniture, and objects. We specialize in crafting bespoke spaces with curiosity, care, and resourcefulness, embracing each project as a one-of-a-kind collaboration to create a space that is uniquely yours. Whether you are a homeowner, entrepreneur, or community organization, we can help elevate your space while making the process of building or renovating constructive, enjoyable, and rewarding for you!

We approach all of our projects...

...with curiosity and an open mind // in the research & discovery phase, we learn what makes your project special, closely observing what the space needs + what you value.

...with resourcefulness and ingenuity // in the visioning & formation phase, we devise a compelling concept that synthesizes your ambitions into a cohesive, distinctive design through form, light, and materials and work together with you to refine it.

...with care and precision // in the drawing & delivery phase, we meticulously document and guide your project through permitting and construction, finetuning the design alongside consultants and contractors to craft a highly-refined finished space.
