由郭锡恩先生和胡如珊女士于2004年共同创立的如恩设计研究室(Neri&Hu)，是一家立足于中国上海的多元化建筑设计研究室。如恩设计提供国际化的建筑、室内、整体规划、平面以及产品设计服务。公司目前的项目分布在很多不同的国家，拥有来自全世界各地的员工，使用超过30种语言。不同文化背景组成了如恩的设计团队，正是团队的差异独特性增强了我们的设计理念：以全球化的观念结合多元、重叠的设计理念来创造一个新的建筑范例。
Founded in 2004 by partners Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office is an inter-disciplinary architectural design practice based in Shanghai, China. Neri&Hu works internationally providing architecture, interior, master planning, graphic, and product design services. Currently working on projects in many countries, Neri&Hu is composed of multi-cultural staff who speak over 30 different languages. The diversity of the team reinforces a core vision for the practice: to respond to a global worldview incorporating overlapping design disciplines for a new paradigm in architecture.
公司地点选择在上海有其独特原因。上海是一个走在世界前沿的城市，如恩就处在这个多种元素并存的中心，融入了上海的文化、城市和历史背景并将其作为开拓建筑设计的一个出发点。目前与建筑相关的课题正趋于超出传统设计的界限，如恩设计研究室则用其他补充方式对建筑的传统分界提出挑战并进行诠释。
Neri&Hu’s location is purposeful. With shanghai considered a new global frontier, Neri&Hu is in the center of this contemporary chaos. The city’s cultural, urban, and historic contexts function as a point of departure for the architectural explorations involved in every project. Because new sets of contemporary problems relating to buildings now extend beyond traditional architecture, the practice challenges traditional boundaries of architecture to include other complementary disciplines.
如恩始终认为研究是设计的一种有力工具，因为每个项目都具备有其特有的背景。对规划运作、地点、功能和历史等进行细致深入的研究是创造严谨作品不可或缺的要素。在研究的基础上，如恩致力于建筑与经验、细节、材料、形状及灯光的积极互动，而不是单纯地遵照模式化刻板风格。每个项目背后的最终成功之处都是通过建筑本身外观形象所体现出来的意义而得到淋漓尽致的体现。
Neri&Hu believes strongly in research as a design tool, as each project bears its unique set of contextual issues. A critical probing into the specificities of program, site, function, and history is essential to the creation of rigorous design work. Based on research, Neri&Hu desires to anchor its work on the dynamic interaction of experience, detail, material, form, and light rather than conforming to a formulaic style. The ultimate significance behind each project comes from how the built forms create meaning through their physical representations.
