Leong Leong is an architecture studio and design consultancy in New York City.[1] Founded in 2009 by brothers Dominic Leong and Christopher Leong, the studio is known for Materiality (architecture)[2][3][4] and integrating aesthetics with Social practice (art).[5][6][7][8][9] An early example of the firm’s material experimentation is the 2010 temporary installation “Turning Pink,” in which Leong Leong used rigid building insulation and mirrored acrylic to transform a 6’ x 10’ gallery space into a seemingly expansive grotto.[10][11] Some examples of Leong Leong’s integration of aesthetics with social practice include the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Anita May Rosenstein Campus, an intergenerational facility serving LGBT seniors and youth,[12][13] and The Norma, a 100% affordable home ownership project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.[14][15]
