With more than two decades of international leadership experience, Klor steps into the CEO role at 10 Design in a defining moment in the firm’s history – including the transformation of its London studio into a global headquarters of a network that now spans nine studios across the globe. 2025 marks a milestone year for the studio, as the firm celebrates its 15th anniversary, while carrying forward the 65-year legacy of SB Architects in the Americas – the acclaimed U.S. firm now united under the global banner of 10 Design.
Klor’s appointment underscores the importance of leadership in a year that not only marks milestones but also charts the next phase of global expansion. Founded in Hong Kong in 2010, 10 Design has expanded into a dynamic design-led practice of 400 architects and designers working across London, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Miami, Dallas, Dubai, Edinburgh, Shenzhen, and Singapore. In just 15 years, the firm has established itself among the WA100’s top 50 global architecture practices, with a portfolio recognized by 340+ international awards for projects ranging from cultural and civic landmarks to city-shaping masterplans.
Her portfolio covers a broad range of sectors, including mixed-use, residential and hospitality developments worldwide. She serves as Chair of Women in Architecture (WIA) UK, a volunteer-led organization advocating for systemic change in the built environment to amplify women’s and other unrepresented voices, experiences, and leadership.
