The Emerging Studio
HO Studio is a young and future-focused design practice founded on the principle of “合”— the Chinese character for harmony and collaboration.
Guided by this ethos, we approach every project with the belief that thoughtful design arises from balance: between people & place, function & form, ambition & sustainability.
As an emerging studio, our advantage lies in our fresh perspective and unwavering commitment to the first principles. Unbound by convention, we challenge assumptions and design from the ground up—prioritising the specific site context and the day-to-day rituals of those who inhabit the space.
Sustainability
In alignment with the Green Building Council of Australia’s Carbon Positive Roadmap, we are committed to helping new homes become climate positive by 2030.
We reject the notion that sustainability must entail prohibitive costs. Instead, we believe that smart, passive strategies—optimised spatial arrangements, purposeful material selections, and efficient construction methods—can deliver high-performance buildings without reliance on expensive technologies. By integrating these strategies from first principles, we seek to demonstrate that high-quality, low-impact architecture can be both economically accessible and environmentally responsible.
At HO Studio, we don’t just design buildings—we shape resilient, harmonious environments that support better ways of living.
