Company

ARES Partners was founded in 2007 in Shanghai. It begins with an insistence on design excellence and a belief of Architecture and Interior Design are inseparable. We believe that a small and professional practice will flourish outside the confines of a large corporation and provide better service to its clients.

The philosophy of the practice is to seek innovative and functional design solutions to each challenge. Through the rendering of space, light and natural materials complement a project's programmatic needs and spatial characteristics. In additions, urban context, building technology, craft and details along with meaningful client dialogue, work to meet the budget and schedule are all as primary parts of the process. We believe that authenticity, creativity and effective execution and proficient management are the keys to a successful project.
