ABOUT

B L U R is a collective Architect and Landscape Architecture design studio.

We founded BLUR to create places that feel whole—spaces where architecture and landscape speak as one.

We’re deeply connected to space and people, creating space with memory, warmth, and emotional resonance.

WE REFUSE:

Superficial trends, cold minimalism, and designs that forget the soul.

WE DREAM:

Spaces where architecture and landscape BLUR — dissolving boundaries to create places of warmth, memory, and emotional depth.

WE ARE:

Architect x Landscape Architects;

Based in San Francisco;

Founded by two Female Designers;

Rooted in Eastern Aesthetics.

Jen Xu Licensed Architect / Co-founder of BLUR

Jen is an architect based in San Francisco with over a decade of experience in high-end residential design. Educated at the University of California, Berkeley, she brings a calm and deeply considered approach to each project. Her work prioritizes beauty, emotion, and spatial clarity—designing homes that feel both protected and open, serene and grounded. Jen believes architecture should elevate the everyday: not through spectacle, but through spaces that quietly support how people live, move, and feel.

April Liu Licensed Landscape Architect / Co-founder of BLUR

April is a licensed landscape architect with over ten years of experience practicing in the Bay Area. She holds a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. Her design approach centers on thoughtful dialogue with each site, guided by a deep sensitivity to the poetic phenomena of nature.
