Asia-based urban and infrastructure development consultancy Surbana Jurong will jointly pursue projects in the region with Rocco Yim’s firm.
Hong Kong’s Rocco Design Architects and Singapore’s Surbana Jurong last week announced a new collaboration agreement that will allow the two firms to jointly pursue projects in the region, particularly Hong Kong and the Greater China Bay Area.
The news came with the announcement that Surbana Jurong has entered partnerships with two leading architectural firms – Canada-headquartered B+H and Singapore-headquartered SAA. Those two firms have become member companies of Surbana Jurong.

Wong Heang Fine, Group CEO of Surbana Jurong said, “Welcoming B+H and SAA into the Group reflects Surbana Jurong’s strategy to strengthen and transform our architectural practice and enable us to compete with the best in the world. With a larger pool of global design talents consisting of Surbana Jurong’s architects, new members B+H and SAA, and partnerships with other renowned architects such as Rocco Design, we will be able to nurture and groom future architectural talents by providing them with more exposure opportunities to projects globally.”
