With nine design studios spread around the world, chances are you’ve seen our work before.

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.

Across our studios we connect insight and creativity, creating a better future by designing the world’s best places – places people love, is what drives us.

Through our work, we're trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities – and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.

Overlooking the cityscape, our Shanghai studio is on the 12th floor in the centre of Xujiahui.

Open and collaborative, it’s immediately identifiable as part of Hassell and also distinctly Shanghai.

We are always on the lookout for exceptional talent to join our dynamic team. We are currently seeking expressions of interest from experienced urban design professionals for future opportunities in our Shanghai Studio.

As we continue to grow our pipeline of projects, we are interested in speaking to Senior Urban Designers who may be interested in joining our Shanghai studio in the future.
