"Architecture is an irrefutable event. It occurs in certain moment of creation when the mind, preoccupied with the strength and practical convenience of a work, is suddenly uplifted by A HIGHER INTENTION...
This higher intention defines architecture."
- Le Corbusier
TESTIMONIALS
_____________________________________________________________________________________
"I met Lu Tang at Real Estate Network Group two years ago, and I immediately noticed this friendly woman who's open-minded and was very eager to learn... Lu is a courageous woman who is well-connected and is very passionate about starting her own business.
When my friends investors asked me for referral to do interior or architectural design, I have always referred them to Lu. I know Lu is a professional architect, who is knowledgeable and detailed-oriented. Lu strikes me as someone who is very goal and results oriented. Lu is always upbeat and with a positive attitude.
- Irene Dong, CGA (Real Estate Investor)
“The level of service of Lu Tang is fantastic. Having been a customer for many years, I am consistently impressed by the professionalism of their work and its creativity. Thank you!”
--Edmond Leung, P.Eng., MBA,
Managing Director of Link Comfort Home [Developer & Investor]
"As a senior officer at our accommodations group, Lu is a very talented individual, specifically around design. She pours her heart into each project and communicates often with the client. Lu’s free hand drawings were exceptional... she demonstrated her capabilities well."- Debbie Peckham, Regional Manager, HRSDC, Government of Canada
"I met Lu Tang when we were developing the Rona Home Improvement and Garden Store in Richmond, BC. Lu was the architect on this project while she was with Wensley Architecture at that time. Lu contributed a valuable service to the team as she brought a fresh, colourful and practical design to the development otherwise it would had been a dull and an un-attractive big box warehouse building. We would not hesitate to recommend her service to our development industry and use her service in future projects."
- Norman Tam, Developer,
President of Tangram
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms Lu Tang for over the past 7 years now as a business associate and friend through our professional work related activities and business developments. During this time she has exhibited many great qualities as a professional and as an artistic designer, who can relate and cater to my client’s needs as they face the many difficult challenges with their projects. Lu is dedicated to her chosen profession. I understand that she went to University at a young age of 16 and has ever since concentrated her studies and work in the same field - Architecture. It is no surprise to me that she became the first female licensed architect here in BC born in China. I believe that with her Chinese background, her skills and her dedication to her work, will give her the leading edge for years to come in her practice"
- Dana. A. Yuen, Commercial Realtor, MacDonald Realty
"I am working in construction and development industries for over 32 years in British Columbia. I have the pleasure and honour to meet Ms. Lu Tang in 2006. She stands out as someone I have great admiration to her talent and high hopes for her future."
- Philip PC Woo, Business Owner, Developer
"I believe that a successful entrepreneur not only should possess the necessary skills and experience, more importantly, she/he should also have strong business ethics and a clear vision to lead the organization. To me, Ms. Tang has everything aforementioned. Additionally, her perseverance in adversity and her willingness to acquiring new knowledge further confirm my confidence that she will be a definite success in her business endeavour."
- Christine Chien, Real Estate Investor, Mortgage Broker
"I am absolutely impressed by Lu’s magic way of bringing her wonderful friends together. She made everyone feel special and at ease. Her interior deco is also impressive."- Lily Harvey, MBA [Business Owner]
"I have known Ms Lu Tang for about 8 years now since 2001 as a personal friend. I find her hardworking, creative and sincere. She worked really hard with the challenges of being a single mom and at the same time having a career. She became a licensed architect in 2005 and I had the pleasure to attend her ceremony at the Architectural Institute of British Columbia. That made her the first female Architect born from China to be registered to practice Architecture in this province. She is capable and has demonstrated a high moral standard in business dealings and in her profession. On the personal side, she is warm, approachable and likes to help others to achieve their success.
