Who We Are

HDS Architecture is a Boston based, international architectural design firm founded by architect Hans D. Strauch.  HDS Architecture is a hands-on, client-centered firm that specializes in designing and delivering distinctive, highly-crafted architecture on time and on budget. This approach enables HDS to consistently add value to a building or development by identifying strategic architectural solutions that enhance a project’s functionality, marketability, and stature in the community. The talented team of architects and designers at HDS Architecture work collaboratively to elevate the creative vision of each client while prioritizing the project budgets and real-world constraints.

Design Philosophy

HDS Architecture’s team of architects and designers are advocates of sophisticated, creative design with a focus on sustainability and practicality – creating distinctive architecture that balances the contemporary needs of today and beyond. Always working to elevate each project to the highest potential, HDS works strategically to develop thoughtful architectural solutions. Through listening, interpreting, and meticulous planning, we establish a deep and genuine understanding of the client, end-use, and future program needs. This philosophy fosters lasting client relationships while enhancing the identity of the communities in which HDS Architecture works in.

Value Creation

From project inception, HDS Architecture acts as a strategic partner, providing clients with a process that expedites creativity, decision-making, and productivity while not sacrificing quality.  The result is sophisticated architectural design that generates excitement while delivering value - on time and on budget. Our collaborative design approach with clients, consultants, and construction partners alike enables each project to achieve its highest potential. On paper, we are architects, designers, illustrators, and technology specialists. But in reality, we are translators, problem solvers, and advocates for inspired design. It’s an approach that helps clients define, interpret, and transform their vision into reality.
