Hospitality Design - December 2021 - 52

LYNDON NERI + ROSSANA HU
Founding Partners
Neri&Hu Design and Research Offi ce and Design Republic
Shanghai
When Shanghai's Waterhouse hotel at South Bund opened in 2010, it eschewed Chinese opulence for a stripped-back design that
honored the building's original architecture. The hotel-housed in a 1930s former World War II headquarters for the Japanese
army-established Neri&Hu as a fi rm known for a sensitive approach to design that merges Eastern and Western sensibilities.
The Shanghai-based practice is as prolifi c as its work is thought-provoking, thanks to the leadership provided by husband-andwife
duo Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu. The pair met while they were studying architecture as undergraduates at the University of
California, Berkeley (Neri completed his master's degree in architecture from Harvard University and Hu earned hers at Princeton
University). They both cut their teeth with Michael Graves before deciding to go out on their own in 2004 aſt er moving back to
Shanghai, where Neri had been working on the Three on the Bund project with Graves for a year.
At the offi ce, Hu is the editor and Neri is the dreamer-a balance that has contributed to their portfolio, which includes Pernod
Ricard's Chuan Malt Whisky Distillery in Sichuan's ancient city of Emeishan, one of the most deeply spiritual places in China. Hu
compares running their approximately 100-person offi ce to conducting a symphony. " We're used to being the soloist, but when you
become the conductor, you have to teach people how to play and still create the sound you want, " she says.
Beyond the iconic buildings they've created, the duo sees it as their legacy to give back what they've learned to the next
generation of designers and architects through teaching. Currently, they are visiting professors at Harvard's Graduate School
of Design and teaching at Tongji University in Shanghai. " We teach like we are in a practice, and then we practice like we are
teaching, " says Hu. Being able to design, adds Neri, is the greatest giſt . " What we do changes lives. The everyday, the mundane, the
ordinary that surrounds us is very much designed by an individual. The design fi eld is not frivolous. It's an important part of our
daily lives. "
