Peiyu Liu has spent over a decade designing software and user experiences in Bay Area, California. Peiyu Design grew from his own residence project in 2022, where he saw firsthand how architecture—through light, proportion, material, and routine—can measurably improve daily life.
As Charles Eames put it, the designer is a thoughtful host who anticipates guests’ needs. Peiyu studies how people live and work. He collaborates closely with homeowners, distilling needs and preferences into environments that feel calm, durable, and easy to use.
His approach is consistent across scales—from a built-in, to an ADU, to a full home: clarify the plan, resolve junctions, choose honest materials, and let light do the heavy lifting. The goal is not spectacle, but spaces that age well, support rituals, and quietly reduce friction.
Peiyu Design works end-to-end—concept, drawings, coordination with fabricators and trades—favoring local craft, sensible budgets, and practical timelines. Every detail serves the whole; every decision is tested against how it will be lived with tomorrow and ten years from now.
