We listen closely, design intelligently, and navigate challenges with confidence—from complex planning sensitivities to listed building constraints.

For us, architecture is as much about trust and communication as it is about aesthetics and compliance.

Founded by an architect who spent years working on some of London’s most complex and character-rich properties, StudioHA was born out of a desire to offer something more personal, more precise, and more enduring. We don’t do cookie-cutter. We don’t cut corners. And we don’t just deliver a brief—we interrogate it, refine it, and elevate it into something unexpected but exactly right.

Our clients are often time-poor professionals with high expectations, ambitious ideas, and a deep respect for the character of their properties. Many of the buildings we work with are listed, locally significant, or sit within sensitive heritage settings. These aren’t simple projects—but that’s where we thrive.

We bring calm to complexity. With a considered, collaborative approach, we guide our clients through every stage—from early feasibility to planning, detailed design, and tender—with clarity and confidence. We work with a trusted network of craftspeople and consultants, ensuring that our designs are not only beautiful on paper, but robust in reality.
