COLLECTIVE is an international architecture office practicing Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design, and Exhibition Design. We are headquartered in Hong Kong, with teams in Shenzhen, London, Madrid, Perth and Los Angeles. 

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. 

The nature of COLLECTIVE focuses not on a 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 “named” architecture office.

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. 

COLLECTIVE is a RIBA Chartered Practice.
