Recognition
“Bean Buro were the only firm of designers who truly understood what we were trying to aspire to. They did a brilliant job of guiding us from our rudimentary idea into a truly impressive reality. The design phase and building project went very smoothly, due to their incredibly high level of service throughout. I cannot recommend Bean Buro highly enough.”
— Simon Robson, President of International Recorded Music, Warner Music
“Bean Buro are the only designers who could have brought our dreams to life. Their passion for revolutionising workspace design is truly unique and inspiring. Working with them has been a true pleasure and an unforgettable experience.”
— Junny Lee, founder, The Work Project
“Together they (Kenny and Lorène) are a brilliant combination: both highly intelligent and quick-witted. Both having a sophisticated charm: but both humane and understanding of people as well.”
— Sir Peter Cook, English architect, lecturer and writer on architectural subjects
“We could not be happier with our beautifully designed home. What mattered most to us was that we felt heard every step of the way during the creative and actualization process. Thank you to the amazing Bean Buro team for your passion and professionalism! ”
— Jennifer & William
“We were impressed by Bean Buro’s narrative design approach and how they had carried their initial concept all the way throughout the design development stage until the completion of construction. Despite the ambitious development target goals to begin with, Bean Buro was very engaging and has accommodated all of our spatial arrangement needs, plus our tight timing and budget criteria. The project outturn meets beyond our expectations. The design is very human-centric, practical but sophisticatedly done. Most importantly, we are all delightful and proud to be working in this new workplace. It was a pleasure to have Bean Buro as part of our team and helped us completing this very first LEED & WELL certified Gold office interior project of Hong Kong.”
— Gary Wong, Senior Project Development Manager, Grosvenor Limited
