As partner-in-charge of OMA’s largest project to date he successfully led the realization of the China Central Television Station CCTV and the Television Cultural Centre (TVCC) in Beijing. Scheeren's other projects include MahaNakhon, a 310-meter mixed-use tower in the city of Bangkok; The Scotts Tower, featuring high-end apartments in Singapore; The Interlace, a 1000-unit large-scale residential complex in Singapore; a media centre in Shanghai; a project for Shenzhen’s new city centre; as well as the Taipei Performing Arts Centre in Taiwan. He directed OMA’s work for Prada and completed the Prada Epicenters in New York (2001) and Los Angeles (2004). He also led numerous other projects including the Beijing Books Building, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Leeum Cultural Center in Seoul, and a masterplan for Penang Island, Malaysia.

In 2010, Scheeren left OMA to found his own firm, Büro Ole Scheeren, in Beijing, where he has been living since 2004.[1]
