About

At haat, we create thoughtful spaces that you’ll seek out, stay in and return to.

Before we pick up a pencil, we listen. What do you really need from your space? We welcome the deeper stuff. What feeling are you seeking? What will this space enable you to do in life or business? Understanding why you want something can completely change what you need. That’s where the interesting work begins. 

Together we figure out a better solution -  one that actually solves your problem and doesn’t just look good on paper. The result? Something refined, elegant, and unexpected.

We’re a nimble studio, we move fast, think deeply and aim to do more. But we also bring serious experience and expertise to handle complex work - we just don’t need to be stuffy about it.

Ethics

People First

At the centre of everything we do is you. We treat everyone we work with – clients, collaborators, contractors – with respect and honesty. No jargon, no arrogance, no surprises. We'll tell you plainly what's possible and what it'll take to get there.

Climate Conscious

We're committed to reducing the carbon footprint of every project we touch. That means being thoughtful and data-driven from day one – making sustainable choices the obvious ones, improving building performance, and reusing as much existing fabric as possible. We harness emerging technologies and materials to make this happen, researching new approaches that we can apply broadly across our work.

Transparency

You'll always know where we stand. We're upfront about timelines, budgets, and challenges. If something's not working, we'll tell you. If we find a better solution, we'll tell you that too. Clear communication makes for better buildings and better relationships.

Craft & Technology

We believe in balance. Contemporary digital tools let us iterate faster and dive deeper into problems, finding higher-quality solutions in less time. But buildings are still physical things, put together by human hands. We work alongside talented makers to ensure there's room for intimacy and craft in everything we create.
