Carole Asfour-Lin grew up in Beirut
and Paris. After starting art studies
at MICA in Baltimore, she moved to
architecture, getting a Bachelor from
Cornell University and Masters from
Harvard’s GSD.
She moved to Germany in 1994 where
she first worked for J.P. Kleihues &
Bolles & Wilson Architects.
Her international exposure at a
personal and educational level was
further enriched by encountering her
now husband Michael Lin, an architect
practicing in both Germany and Taiwan
with whom she shares her passion
for music, art, culture, traveling and
architecture. They also collaborated
in different projects like House Flora,
Taiwan.
In her independent practice since
2005, she has focused on residential
projects, both new constructions and
renovations (most of which under
historic preservations). With a keen
attention to the existing poetic of
place, she seeks to respect and
highlight it while contaminating it with
(the needs of) 21st c. way of life.
...
The aim is providing a set-up that
is spatially generous and flexible,
interesting in its organization
and providing rich programmatic
interconnections, layering and
multiplicity of ( internal and external)
views.
The sculptural articulation of walls,
volumetric dividers/connectors,
furniture and spatial unraveling is a
core interest. Equally important are
subtle and interesting material Palettes
and providing a feeling of well-being.
To that effect, a clear and consistent
strategy from concept down to the to
finest details is key.
