StudioHAU Details
Established in 2016, StudioHAU is a design and research office focused on sustainable architecture, urbanism, and space. Our growing portfolio reflects timeless simplicity and unique statements through intelligent use of material, form, proportion, and natural light. We believe buildings play a vital role in public life and aim to create places that inspire social interaction and personal reflection. Our designs respond to site conditions, enhancing the symbiosis between natural forces like wind, water, and sun. StudioHAU prioritizes efficient and responsible design, working closely with clients to meet programmatic and budget objectives while creating inspirational spaces. Led by Yo-ichiro Hakomori, the team produces perspective renderings, 3D animations, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to help clients, stakeholders, consultants, and collaborators visualize unique projects. Our approach aims to fulfill shared aspirations, contribute positively to the community, and respond to the natural environment. Yo-ichiro Hakomori, the founder of StudioHAU, received his Master of Architecture from UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning and a Doctor of Engineering in Architecture from the University of Tokyo. Hakomori has worked on projects in California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Nova Scotia. He was previously a founding partner at wHY Architecture, working extensively on museums and single-family residences, including the Tyler Museum of Art, Pomona College Studio Art Hall, and the LEED Gold-certified Grand Rapids Art Museum. In Los Angeles, Hakomori collaborated with his mentor, Franklin D. Israel, and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando on an ambitious residence. Committed to educating the next generation of architects, Hakomori serves as a Professor of Practice and Director of Global Studies study abroad programs at the University of Southern California School of Architecture.
