Hazelbaker Rush is an internationally recognized architecture and design studio with a focus on creating modern objects, spaces, and experiences. We are a small, energized, creative studio based out of Tucson Arizona. Our Architectural ideas emerge from the understanding of place, history, context, and culture.  We place great importance on the habitation of spaces that we conceive - a process that is continually evolving to engage the client, the user, the artisan, and the environment. Good design lies in a realm of experienced things and their making.

In the pursuit of architecture, the evolution of a concept seldom manifests itself in a straight line. Architectural knowledge is not only created in the studio, it is gained in dialogue with the materials and construction techniques employed in each project. It is important to us to keep the line of thought from idea to realization so that it remains discernible when the project takes form. In every endeavor, we infuse a piece of ourselves within them. Creating an experience that embraces our memories, holds space for the future, and firmly grounds us in the present. We revel in the transformative alchemy that happens when creative and passionate people get together to create something special.

We pin up our ideas, take them down, converse, question, edit, refine, and explore new territory in our ideas and making.  We work closely with our clients to understand their needs, we ask questions, listen well, push toward boundaries and edges, are deliberate, and advocate for what is important, and we appreciate the complexity involved in constraints. Together we balance and complement each other’s skills and personalities, and the body of work they have created together over the past 24 years speaks to that strong collaboration.
