Alex Yoon is Director of Design at Monte French Design Studio. His work across the last 12 years runs the gamut of housing: designing new single-family homes, retrofitting Boston triple-deckers, infilling urban lots with midrise multifamily, and recently overseeing the construction of Boston’s first ground-up mass timber structure, a 7 story Passive House multifamily. His experience in the breadth of Boston housing has underscored and girded his commitment to crafting a better built environment across all scales, seeking strategic solutions and developing better practices to provide high impact, low carbon products. Whether in small steps or giant leaps, he is passionate about the role that architecture plays in the larger process of city building and place making. Alex earned his Master in Architecture from the Harvard GSD and his BA in Architecture from the University of Florida.
