Han Gao
Architect & Spatial Designer
Han is an architect and spatial designer working across scales — from intimate interiors to large-scale urban interventions and landscape architecture. Born in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, her practice is shaped by the tension between vast open landscape and dense built environment, grounded in material honesty and a rigorous attention to section and experience.
With studies at Politecnico di Milano and Aalto University, and experience spanning China, Italy, France, and Finland, Han brings a cross-cultural sensitivity to each project — always informed by the memory of distance and horizon.
