Curiosity,
collaboration
and clarity.

Grounded in context.
Forward-looking.

Office Ren is a two-person architecture practice based between Adelaide and Shanghai, working collaboratively without geographic limitations. Guided by an interest in people, place and possibility, the studio works across residential, commercial, speculative and research-led projects.

Architect Director Ava Kim leads projects across South Australia and nationally, with a focus on research-led urban development, housing and the future of our cities. Based in Shanghai, Architect Director Haolin Bi works internationally, focusing on project delivery, construction and translating design ideas into built outcomes.

Each project responds to its people, context and economics, with materiality, light and everyday experience central to the studio’s approach. Collaboration with architects, designers, builders, consultants and industry partners brings together diverse perspectives and expertise across locations. Through built, unbuilt and speculative work, Office Ren questions, tests and imagines what architecture can make possible.

Open dialogue.
Respect for place.

We believe the best outcomes come from open dialogue. Our process is transparent, inclusive, and responsive, inviting clients into the conversation from concept through to completion.

Confident in our expertise yet always listening, we approach each project with fresh eyes, respect for place, and a genuine interest in how people experience space.

Office Ren provides architectural design services for residential and commercial projects in Adelaide, with enquiries welcomed across Australia.
