Queenie Qianhe Xu

Queenie Qianhe Xu is an architectural designer and creative leader with over a decade of professional experience.

She is dedicated to advancing a forward-thinking architectural practice through her founding studio, Rehearsal studio, by creating spaces that empower individuals to express their authentic identities in a rapidly changing world. Having served in pivotal roles at renowned firms such as Kengo Kuma and CAZA in New York, she has made significant contributions to a variety of distinguished cultural, residential, and hospitality projects. Her cross-cultural background fuels a powerful dualistic approach, merging the large-scale, collaborative thinking of the West with the meticulous materiality and philosophical depth of Japanese design.

Her fascination with space, rooted in childhood and refined through an experimental U.S. education, fuels a research-driven methodology. This unique perspective allows her to excel at navigating the dynamic interplay between people, place, and the urban fabric.
