Studio
Houser Walker is driven to create beautiful and enduring places that resonate with their community, place, and culture. We are an open, research focused studio, committed to expanding the possibilities of practice and rooted in values of context, responsibility, empathetic curiosity, and delight. With each client, our efforts are fueled by distilling the unique essence of their needs and aspirations into engaging, useful, inspiring, and delightful architectural responses.
Houser Walker began in 2004, to craft buildings that enrich our daily lives. Twenty years later, we continue to work with clients whose drive for creating meaningful connection needs to be supported by great architecture and design.
Inside the studio, we:
- Measure success by repeat work from clients, and in the stories we hear from users.
- We like laughter in the workplace and consider it a gauge for the overall health of the studio.
- We enjoy collaborating with others who value craft and share a vision to design remarkable spaces in sync with their environments.
