What o&o studio does

o&o studio is a privately held architecture and interior design practice founded in 2018 by Suzanne Li and Eric Chan in Hong Kong, with a second office established in Shanghai in 2019. The studio delivers architectural, interior design, art installation, branding/graphics, and furniture and product design services across retail, hospitality, cultural, and community typologies for both private commercial and public sector clients in Greater China. Notable commissions include multi-location retail work for the lingerie brand Atelier Intimo, the Mooncraft craft beer bar at Shanghai's Cool Docks, the Siete7 seafood restaurant in Shaoxing, the Pokermetric designed-product collaboration, and the renovation of the 1960s heritage building at 29 Des Voeux Road Central in Hong Kong.

The studio is a project-based professional services firm that generates revenue through commissions won via design competitions (e.g., the Imagine Your Play Spaces Design Competition with Hong Kong's Leisure and Cultural Services Department), direct private client engagements (Atelier Intimo, Mooncraft, Siete7, Siberian Fur Store), and public procurement (Hong Kong Arts Centre, Tourism Commission). Service delivery is direct-to-client with no intermediaries; pricing is bespoke, project-by-project, and not publicly disclosed. The senior team comprises co-founders Eric Chan and Suzanne Li, who collectively bring over two decades of experience at Arup, Safdie Architects, and AHMM, alongside partners Liven Gu (Shanghai office, mainland China operations) and Katt Chung Yap.

Beyond commissioned services, the studio is building reputational equity through earned media coverage in Wallpaper*, designboom, Archdaily, Architizer, and Braun Publishing, plus more than 40 international design awards earned in six years, including HKDA Brand Design Awards, DFA Design For Asia Awards, GOOD DESIGN Awards, Red Dot Awards, MUSE Design Awards, APIDA Emerging Design Practice Gold, and K-Design Awards. Marketing is essentially award- and editorial-driven, with supplementary participation in industry events (deTour, BODW CityProg, Build4Asia) and educational engagement via the Hong Kong Public Space Initiative and HKDI / City University adjunct roles. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and operates with 1–10 employees split across Hong Kong and Shanghai.
