GOA (Group of Architects)

One of China's most powerful design practices, based in Hangzhou with nearly 25 years of practice, focused on Asian living environments and lifestyles, with hotels, culture and offices.

Its work spans architectural design, urban design and technical consultancy, with large teams and a portfolio combining public, educational, cultural and infrastructure buildings, as well as conservation and renewal projects.

For an architecture and building-materials directory, it is relevant for its scale, technical capacity and record on landmark projects, although contact details should be verified before publication.
