Hassell

Our purpose is to design the world’s best places – places people love.  We do that by bringing together the best designers and thinkers in a unique process combining the power of creative design and strategic intelligence. The result is meaningful design that generates measurable value – and makes a lasting difference.

Across our studios in Asia, Australia, the US and the UK, we challenge each other, our clients and our ideas in a spirit of open-minded collaboration and exploration. We draw on our own expertise in research, strategy, technology and experience design as well as the latest insights from experts and partners from further afield to come up with design solutions that feel unanticipated yet obvious.

Globalisation, climate change, urbanisation, and digitisation present new opportunities and challenges for how we live. In this fast-changing context, we bring together the best designers and thinkers in a unique collaborative process that results in both beautiful design and measurable value.

We work across architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and urban design – a rich multi-disciplinary mix of skills and perspectives that unlocks the economic, social and cultural value of projects.

We combine our creative design expertise with capabilities in strategy, research, technology and experience design, and we regularly collaborate with experts and partners from further afield. Through our work, we’re trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities – and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.

Design approach

We believe in the impact of great design. Design that is engaging, enriching, and enduring. Design that adds beauty and value to the world.

Great design is driven by meaningful ideas explored through research and testing, and achieved through open-minded collaboration. It deals with complexity. It achieves outcomes that feel both unanticipated and yet obvious. It engages our emotions and sparks new conversations. It shapes our physical world as well as our culture – our lives and experiences.

The world’s best places are always more than the sum of their parts. They go generously beyond the brief to create a better future.
