Neri & Hu
Authors
Founded in 2004 by partners Lyndon
Neri and Rossana Hu, Neri & Hu
Design and Research Office is an
inter-disciplinary architectural design
practice based in Shanghai, China with
an additional office in London, UK.
Neri & Hu works internationally providing
architecture, interior, master planning,
graphic, and product design services.
Currently working on projects in many
countries, Neri & Hu is composed of
multi-cultural staff who speak over 30
different languages. The diversity of
the team reinforces a core vision for
the practice: to respond to a global
worldview incorporating overlapping
design disciplines for a new paradigm in
architecture.
Neri & Hu believes strongly in research
as a design tool, as each project bears
its unique set of contextual issues. A
critical probing into the specificities of
program, site, function, and history is
essential to the creation of rigorous
design work. Based on research,
Neri & Hu desires to anchor its work on
the dynamic interaction of experience,
detail, material, form, and light rather
than conforming to a formulaic style.
The ultimate significance behind each
project comes from how the built forms
create meaning through their physical
representations.
Neri & Hu and their design have
been recognized by a number of
prestigious international design awards:
Maison&Objet named them “Asia
Designers of The Year 2015”, UK
Wallpaper* announced the Founding
Partners Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu
as “2014 Designers of The Year”; they
were also listed among the 40 most
prominent designer “under 40” that are
shaping the Greater China.
