Studio HIRA Architecture+

Studio HIRA — a new architecture and design practice that explores the intersection of belonging and space.

HIRA creates spaces that are both grounded in the now and have potential for the then. Every project starts with the specific - atmosphere, stories and materials, and aims to enrich its context through thoughtful, sustainable and precise design.

The studio works across all scales and with a diverse range of clients. HIRA values collaboration, thoughtful details and a deep connection to people and place.

About HIRA

Placemaking

HIRA explores the intersection of belonging and space. Spaces take shape around the quiet echo of home — an emotional landscape shaped by memory, identity, and connection. At the same time, HIRA is about here: the specific, the character, the tangible. Each project begins with atmosphere, stories, and community, and seeks not only to respond to context but to enrich it. Through thoughtful, sustainable, and precise design, spaces emerge that are deeply connected to both people and place. Grounded, transformative, and built with care.

Context

HIRA works across all scales, from urban studies to a garden shed, and with a diverse range of clients. Each project is approached individually, with careful attention to its unique context, needs, and potential. In addition to commissions from private and commercial clients, the studio engages in ongoing collaborations with other architectural practices. Collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange are central to HIRA’s process, fostering dialogue, shared knowledge, and richer spatial outcomes.
