Our Story
The energy within a space influences our built-environment & psychology
Promoting wellness through integrative architecture
At R.E.A.L., we look at buildings as a whole and we use buildings to assist in our journey to wellness. Our inner transformation is as important as crafting a favorable environment for healing to occur. We also provide a long-term framework to success that includes sustainable and biophilic design, urban-farming, Feng Shui, decluttering, and colors. We care both for our clients and our environment. We are inspired to create a connection between our space, our self and nature.
Our value is creating real-life architecture for our clients and for the interest of the environment, while being on time and on budget. We build with integrity and responsibility. Our design methodology is based on the user’s experience within a space, the sustainability of the building and occupant’s lifestyle, and the wellness of both the building and its users.
Our mission is to promote wellness through designing integrative architecture. Architecture has morphed the way we live. We believe architecture is an experience and thus, it is an expression of multisensory feelings. We combine the analysis of how we use utilities in a building along with the study of the flow of spatial energy through Feng Shui. We can then provide a design that is wholesome for both human and the environment. We focus on helping our clients reduce the building maintenance cost in the long run as well as helping them live a healthy lifestyle. The building, human and nature components can work in harmony with each other.
R.E.A.L. is led by licensed architect Crystal Wong. Crystal has been practicing architecture since 2005. She completed her first year of architecture study while she was still in high school, then jumped right into the second year of architecture school at Woodbury University in Burbank, CA, where she obtained her Bachelor of Architecture Degree. Crystal completed her first residential addition project when she was nineteen years old with two of her colleagues in college.
Post-graduation, Crystal worked at a boutique firm that specialized in affordable housing projects, where she was a Project Manager leading the project team and overseeing the completion of the projects. With her passion for social contribution through architecture, Crystal went on to start her own architecture practice in 2014. Since then, Crystal has been focusing on creating high-quality architecture serving as the impetus for personal transformation of their users.
