Worrel Yeung

Jejon Yeung is a licensed architect in New York State, a member of the American Institute of Architects, and an accredited LEED professional. A Canadian native, he obtained a Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree from Carleton University in 2004, and a Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 2007. In 2015 he co-founded Worrell Yeung with Max Worrell in New York City. The practice is an award-winning full-service architectural firm with a diverse portfolio that includes residential, public and commercial spaces. Backed by technical proficiency and experience, the work is characterized by a minimal, refined and restrained aesthetic, relying on a balanced play of elements such as light, color, form, and material, to create unique and comfortable spaces. Previously, Jejon was an integral team member at Architecture Research Office for nine years serving as Project Director overseeing multiple projects including several Knoll Inc. showrooms and offices nationwide. At Worrell Yeung, Jejon has led the design on the adaptive reuse of a 6 story, 24,000 SF masonry factory building now occupied by New Lab by the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In 2020, near the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, together with 5 other small architecture practices, Jejon and Max helped establish Design Advocates, a platform for architects and designers to share resources and collaborate on efforts to serve the public good through pro bono projects, research, and advocacy. Jejon is an avid supporter of collaborative design across various disciplines and seeks to enhance public and private environments at multiple scales.
