COLLECTIVE
COLLECTIVE is an international architecture office practicing Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design and Exhibition Design. We are headquartered in Hong Kong, with teams in London & Madrid.
COLLECTIVE remains globally oriented while strongly rooted in Asia. We are a research and concept driven architecture practice that offers powerful narratives, and insists on Clarity, Beauty and Function.
COLLECTIVE practices Design as a Methodology, instead of a Style. We offer a diverse portfolio of work, eager to work with new typologies while avoiding repetitive aesthetic approaches.
Founded by Betty Ng in 2015, COLLECTIVE is co-directed by Chi Yan Chan, Juan Minguez and Katja Lam. We are a diverse team with intercontinental backgrounds. The Directors at COLLECTIVE have previously practiced at Pritzker Prize winning studios of Rem Koolhaas/OMA and Herzog & de Meuron, leading projects worldwide in Directorship and Senior positions.
The nature of COLLECTIVE focuses not on the Single Creator but a Collective of Critics. Building on the convergence of a ‘collective’ of diverse merits, we engage our projects with our team’s wide spectrum of international expertise, along with our clients and collaborators in various disciplines, challenging the status quo of the one-name architecture office.
