HCCH is founded by Hao Chen and Chenchen Hu in Shanghai, 2018. Focusing on multi-disciplinary practice of everyday life, our work covers architecture, interiors, and public art. We try to push the boundary of discipline and norm, by exploring specific, innovative and challenging action, to inspire lasting positive environmental and societal engagement.

Both Hao and Chenchen studied in Shanghai, Vienna and Boston, graduated from Tongji University with Bachelor degrees of architecture and Harvard GSD with Master degrees of Architecture in Urban Design.
