Hannes Pfau is a Partner at UNStudio. He established both the Shanghai and Hong Kong offices in 2010 and 2014, respectively, and oversees them as the Managing Director of UNStudio Asia. He currently leads several large-scale and high-profile projects in China and the Asia Pacific region, including the Lyric Theatre Complex in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, comprehensive mixed-use developments in Nanjing and Hangzhou, and a high-end residential project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With his integrated approach to design and construction, Hannes achieves distinctive designs using materialisation, strategically complex geometries, and creative building processes. This has led to many unique solutions for key UNStudio projects, including the mixed-use development Raffles City Hangzhou, the Xintiandi Plaza and Lane 189 shopping malls in Shanghai. And it continues his track record of realising extraordinary international projects, from the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, to the MUMUTH Music Theater in Graz, Austria.
