HBA Residential

What HBA Residential does

HBA Residential is a boutique luxury residential interior design studio operating as a specialist division of HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates), a privately held hospitality and residential interior design practice headquartered via its primary studio at 135 Cecil Street, Singapore. The studio provides end-to-end interior design services for ultra-high-net-worth private clients, families with multi-residence portfolios across cities, and luxury developer partners building branded residences and prestigious developments. Its work spans the full design exercise — from concept through completion — delivered through a partner-led engagement model in which a single principal remains closely involved with each client throughout the project lifecycle.

HBA Residential operates from five regional studios covering Singapore, London (EMEA), Miami (Americas), Hong Kong (Asia), and Dubai (Middle East), drawing on the broader HBA network of 29 offices and approximately 1,500 professionals collaborating with clients in more than 80 countries annually. Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based design fees with quote-based, project-specific pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity includes co-development partnerships with luxury manufacturers (Giorgetti for the KUMIKI furniture collection, Atlas Concorde for Marvel T surfaces, Sans Souci Lighting for Fibonacci's Window) and a formal entry into South Korea via a partnership with Hyundai E&C in Seoul.

The studio positions itself on discretion, contextual sensitivity, and a measured, elegant design sensibility rather than a signature house style. Its project portfolio includes The Whiteley (London), 111 West 57th Street (New York), The OWO Residences by Raffles (London), The Delmore Residences (Miami), SHA Emirates Resort & Villas (UAE), Amali Island Villas (Dubai), One Canal (Dubai), and a private clubhouse in Ningbo, China. As of May 2026, the studio strengthened its global leadership team with four new Partner appointments across EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
