History

Perspective
Founded in 1965 by Howard Hirsch and Michael Bedner, HBA was one of the first companies to market themselves as a hospitality design firm.[3] Initially focusing their work on projects local to the United States, HBA began work on the Beverly Rodeo Hotel in Beverly Hills and Chez Voltaire, a restaurant in Florida.[3]
Recognising the increasing demands of a global clientele, the firm strategically expanded beyond its Los Angeles base. This growth saw the establishment of international offices in Hong Kong (1978), Atlanta (1980), London (1987), Singapore (1988), San Francisco (1995), Dubai (2000), and Seoul (2017).[4]
The firm has since diversified into a dynamic and multidisciplinary creative collective, bringing decades of experience to bear across specialisms, markets, and industries. These include hotels, integrated resorts, world-class residences, spas, casinos, restaurants & bars, cruise ships, trains, retail centers, museums, senior living complexes, art consulting, brand design, lighting, landscape design, and other areas.[5]
Today, the company employs over 1,380 designers and has 24 offices around the globe; Atlanta, Bali, Bangkok, Beijing, Clark, Dubai, Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jakarta, London, Los Angeles, Manila, Miami, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York, Riyadh, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, and Tokyo.[6]
