Visionary Minds

Three Partners. Three Cultures. One Shared Mindset.

anySCALE is led by three partners whose collaboration is built on complementarity. Each brings a distinct cultural background, professional focus, and way of thinking — forming a leadership structure where contrast becomes a strength. Together, they define the strategic direction of the studio, shape its design culture, and ensure that every project benefits from multiple perspectives.
Three Perspectives, One Architecture.

Andreas Thomczyk
Partner

Brings a strong European architectural foundation, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of structure, process, and long-term value. His work is defined by clarity and precision, translating complex briefs into robust architectural systems.

Karin Hepp 
Partner

Operates at the intersection of design, culture, and human experience. With extensive experience across Europe and Asia, she bridges conceptual rigor with emotional intelligence—shaping spaces that are refined, intuitive, and deeply human.

Tom Chan
Partner

Extended Leadership.

Beyond its partners, anySCALE is supported by key players who translate vision into daily practice — bridging strategy, operations, and execution across regions.

Yiran Li
Head of Administration & Executive Support

Yiran Li oversees the studio’s administrative operations and supports the three partners across commercial processes, contracts, and human resources. Together with her team, she manages early client engagement ensuring clarity and professionalism from the outset. As a bridge between leadership and the younger generation, she also represents an important cultural voice within the studio.

Simon Berg
Director, Shanghai Office

A leadership team built on trust, diversity of thought, and shared authorship.
