2025 Gil Oberfield Lecture: Leong Leong

The annual Gil Oberfield Memorial Lecture was founded in honor of Gil Oberfield, AIA, former member and chair of the AIANY Interiors Committee. The lecture brings to the podium speakers whose work excels in the field of interior architecture. This year’s lecture will feature Leong Leong.

Leong Leong is an internationally recognized architecture studio and design consultancy based in New York City. We partner with forward-thinking clients, cultural enterprises, and institutions to build cultural resonance and advance social agendas within the built environment.

Leong Leong was founded in 2009 by brothers Chris and Dominic Leong, with a portfolio that encompasses a broad range of projects and scales, from urban campuses and institutional spaces to interiors and furniture. Our collaborative design approach integrates aesthetic, social, and ecological concerns to create spaces that foster new ways of living, learning, and convening. Working across disciplines, our diverse staff expands the role of the architect, synthesizing strategic thinking with formal and material experimentation.
