About

Who we are

HADE translates design, imagination, and emotion into thoughtfully engaging spaces. Each of partner’s unique abilities draw on multifaceted disciplines to enrich all phases of a project, whether it's brainstorming initial design concepts or providing state-of-the-art 3D renderings. Advantageously combining their diverse approaches to creativity, visualization, and practicality, HADE provides a total service experience to clients, guiding you through initial designs all the way up to construction, where our high-technology design expressions and methods allow us to perform design feasibility testing during the pre-construction phase.

Design Philosophy

Our design philosophy is based on an emotional design approach that centers on a user’s sensory experience. We believe that design should harmonize the intended functions of a space to enhance user engagement.
