About us
Michael Hsu Office of Architecture was formed in 2005 with the goal of producing locally-engaged, design driven architecture and interiors in Austin. MHOA endeavors to create livable, neighborhood-oriented urban spaces. Our work includes diverse projects ranging from mixed-use developments to original commercial interiors and residences. MHOA advocates a simple, edited design palette, using available materials and techniques to create unexpected results. MHOA believes in the innate beauty of unadorned natural materials, carefully chosen, composed and crafted. MHOA is concerned with producing work that is functional, engaging and honest. We believe in the active collaboration between designer, client, consultant, and craftsman and embrace the challenges of site and budget to inspire highly creative, cost-effective solutions. Our numerous adaptive re-use projects demonstrate our passion for imaginative and sustainable solutions from modest resources.

Hello Longhorn is a podcast developed by the Texas Exes featuring UT alumni business leaders. In this week’s episode, Michael reflects on his early career, the firm’s design process, and what has contributed to our growth. “Clients are expecting us to look at what and who they are from the outside and help mirror back to them what we see in them, and that really informs a lot of what we design” Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/gBc2_hfa

Thank you, Monocle, for featuring MHOA in your latest issue of Escapist. “The emphasis on acoustics fits with MHOA’s philosophy that designing for dining is a multi- sensory experience. There are the obvious tastes and smells of the food but also distinctive visual techniques, such as providing sightlines to signature elements of the kitchen – say a wood-fired grill or chicken rotisserie.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gfHRstq6

We recently partnered with Project Transitions, a local nonprofit, to build affordable housing in Austin for people living with HIV and AIDS. Burnet Place opened this winter, offering 61 units contained within a midrise building centered by a courtyard. “At the heart is a warm and welcoming courtyard with a sunlit porch, community garden and quiet walking paths. We hope that we’ve created a home where residents can feel comforted and supported, and where they can thrive.” - Maija Kreishman, AIA Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gG-xJ4Vc
