⟵ Michael Hsu Office of Architecture

Michael Hsu Office of Architecture believes that design is for everyone.

We re-imagine materials to create essential experiences. We believe in the active collaboration of designer, client, and artisan. Our work connects us with nature and manifests a sense of wellbeing. We design spaces that engage our local, regional, and global communities.

The studio was founded in 2005 in Austin to unite people through design. We are a nationally award-winning, fully integrated architecture and interior design practice. Our work is rooted in hospitality and placemaking and includes diverse projects such as large mixed-use developments, adaptive reuse projects, public realm design, architectural branding, single-family homes, hotels, restaurants, workspaces, and bespoke furniture design. We work throughout Texas and across the country in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and Denver. Michael Hsu Office of Architecture opened a second office in Houston in 2018 and have designers representing the studio in Dallas, Denver, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Louisville. We are a minority-owned firm, certified with the City of Austin as an MBE and HUB.
