JIAN VERN NG

Jian Vern (JV) first developed an interest in architecture when he took his first drafting and design course at Sir Winston Churchill secondary school. This interest was further developed on a trip to New Zealand in 2015 where he saw Re:START, an outdoor retail space constructed with recycled shipping containers. There, he also saw Shigeru Ban's cardboard cathedral. These projects ignited his passion for modular, renewable, sustainable design. Jian Vern hopes that one day he can help create affordable housing in developing countries.

Jian Vern has a Diploma in Building Technology and a Bachelor of Architectural Science from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. He has experience in commercial and retail interior design, as well as laneway homes. In his free time, he enjoys hiking and biking in the outdoors.
