On 10 March, Joris Angevaare, Partner at Studio HBA, joined the AHICE South East Asia 2026 Design Inn Symposium at Pan Pacific Singapore.

The “Industry Leaders’ Outlook” session brought together voices from across the design community to discuss what’s really shaping hospitality today: design at scale, responsibility, risk, and the realities of building in an industry that keeps evolving.

The conversation centered on the growing complexity of large-scale hospitality development in Southeast Asia, where operational demands, commercial pressures, and long-term performance are increasingly part of every design decision. The answer, from Studio HBA’s perspective, lies in adaptability: holding creative intent steady while delivering work that is both distinctive and commercially resilient.
