Each project is headed by myself as Principal Architect, working in close collaboration with a team of amazingly talented architects and designers. We value architectural education and work intentionally to develop our up-and-coming staff members on their path to licensure. By actively providing opportunities to enrich their growth both personally and professionally, the capacity of the firm is elevated.
A Note from Paul Halajian

At the heart of it all, there is love. We love what we do, and more so, we love working together and with clients who have placed their faith and trust in our care to design projects that embody their aspirations.
As we move forward into the complex, turbulent, and exhilarating times ahead, our collaborative studio will be called on more and more to apply “design thinking” to address both local and global challenges. We are committed to sharpening our skills and broadening our interests artistically, technically, socially, and spiritually while continuing to focus on the details that make our work shine.
Careers
We seek out projects that have the capacity to improve the lives of Valley residents.
Having been in business since 2010, we believe that the best is yet to come! The firm is growing yet maintaining a studio culture that sets us apart. Bringing in the brightest, most talented practitioners to be part of our team is critical to our success. Our work is driven by a passion: for the craft, for purpose of the project, for the client’s needs, and for the impact to the community in which it resides. If you find fulfillment in innovating, problem-solving, and thinking on your toes, PHA is the place for you. The firm is considered medium-sized, and we like it that way. Our size allows us to be nimble and pivot to the project and the project’s needs.
