CLOU architects

Beijing, China

Founded by Jan Clostermann, CLOU is a cosmopolitan team of architects and designers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Lisbon, with one central mission: to design the best social spaces in the world. Our work focuses on the most vibrant places in today’s world: retail and leisure destinations, large mixed-use complexes, and community hubs. We define ourselves as creators of social spaces: we design projects that place the human being at centre stage, creating new environments for social encounters and authentic collective identities. We deliver lively public spaces which are intimately connected to the people who use them and transform the urban fabric in which they are built.
