Woods Bagot has announced the implementation of two regional hubs in South-East Asia, which extend the firm’s “hub model” already established in North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
According to a release from Woods Bagot, Shanghai and Hong Kong have been chosen as regional hubs given their access to great design talent and ideal locations to service clients across China and South-East Asia. These hubs will be supported by on-the-ground teams in Shenzhen, Beijing and Singapore.
Principal and Hong Kong hub leader Christopher Lye commented, “This nested model strengthens our delivery and expands our design bandwidth. It also gives clients access to our 7C enterprises – including placemaking experts ERA-co, sustainability consultancy Impact Futures, and ultra-luxury specialists Customs Bureau – enabling a total design solution that makes our regional hubs both local and global.”
The wholly owned 7C model, launched in March this year, is formulated to provide an integrated approach to “total place design,” by drawing on specialist and international expertise.
Director and mixed-use sector leader in China Jean Weng added, “Our focus remains steadfast on creating vibrant cityscapes and driving urban renewal, ensuring our projects meaningfully contribute to the dynamic evolution of cities across China.”
