⟵ FIRMAH

FIRMAH is an Austin-based architecture and design firm dedicated to crafting common grounds for our one shared earth, our one terra firma.

Our team is dedicated to crafting structures for connectivity and engagement across communities and landscapes. We build upon foundational principles of holistic environmental and social wellness, leveraging our unique design expertise in creating innovative, resilient, and inclusive environments for mixed typologies and programs. Committed to building strong community relationships, we cultivate spaces that not only stand firm in their aesthetic and functional excellence, but also uplift and enhance the well-being of the people and contexts they serve. We believe in the transformative power of design to create lasting impact, rooted in the enduring strength and connectedness of the shared grounds we inhabit.

Founded and led by Ashley Heeren, an architect with more than a decade of experience designing and delivering mixed-use projects, FIRMAH currently focuses on adaptive reuse and experimental construction approaches as strategies for resilience, equity, and cultural vitality. We love working with diamonds in the rough.

FIRMAH is a woman-owned small business, certified as a City of Austin WBE and a State of Texas HUB.
