[Who We Are]

AAHA Studio is a concierge style, full-service, family-run Architecture and Interior Design Studio. From single-family Residential, Retail Projects, Commercial, and Hospitality, we work hand in hand with clients to deliver their dreams.

We are a young, design-driven studio run by the husband and wife team of Harper Halprin & Aaron Leshtz. Our team is family and our clients are part of that culture. We are collaborators. We leverage our individuality, our experiences, and our unique points of view to create a stronger whole. We are nimble and inventive. We are experienced, but never stale. We seek the best solutions to specific problems, utilizing technology, knowledge, and an inquisitive nature to deliver high-quality projects and service to our clients.

As a Small Team, It’s Important That We Enjoy Where We Work And The People We Work With. The Following Core Values Are An Integral Part Of That Culture

• Passionate About Design: We love design found in all sorts of places - whether the Schindler house or the perfect coffee cup
• Inquisitive Nature: The type of person who climbs under a table in a public place to see how it was constructed
• Dedication: To the work, the studio, and each other
• Team Player: The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts
• Responsiveness: We move quickly and efficiently
