XO Projects is the result of two offices – Elenberg Fraser, Melbourne and Elastik, Amsterdam – combining forces to realise a practice with sustained commercial and design research credentials. The partnership is the result of a methodical development process whereby the two studios collaborated on masterplanning, architectural and interior projects in Australia, Europe and Asia over a three-year period. Founded in 2016, XO Projects is a studio with legacy and momentum, with active large projects in Central / South East Asia, Europe and America. XO Projects’ working method is synchronized with our clients’ imperatives. A studio that straddles research and a client focused culture based within the beating heart of the world’s most dynamic urbanities. Our process is focused on helping cities to compete in the ‘experience economy’, which requires environments to stand out. We create the Extra Ordinaries within cities. XO achieves this by combining craftsmanship, what is incremental in life, with the technologies that transform industry and human relations. A fusion that ensures places are homely and desirable; a built environment that talks to local traditions and to the current marketplace of ideas. We are skilled at curating the local into the new, ensuring distinctiveness and warding off industrial sameness. We design products and solutions that empower our customers and enable cities to grow humanely.
