What MSA Architecture + Interiors does

MSA Architecture + Interiors, LLC is a privately held, full-service architecture and interior design firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, operating from a single office with approximately 10-12 employees. The firm delivers integrated architectural and interior design services across residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, religious, educational, and industrial project types for clients in San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country, and surrounding areas, led by three principals (CEO Brent R. Anderson, President George Klein, Jr., and Vice President Leslie McCoy Anderson) and supported by a credentialed design team holding AIA, LEED AP BD+C, and Associate IIDA certifications.

The firm's core service portfolio spans custom residential architecture (new construction, renovations, spec homes, townhomes), commercial architecture (office buildings, retail centers, healthcare facilities, industrial facilities), and interior design (space planning, finish selections, full-service commercial and residential interiors), supported by capabilities including 3D renderings and LiDAR scanning, master planning, construction administration, code and accessibility compliance, consultant coordination, and green building/LEED services. Technology adoption centers on visualization tools and integrated design workflows rather than proprietary platforms or AI/ML systems. Notable project credentials include a nationally recognized first-of-kind LEED-certified single-doctor orthodontics practice (Stone Oak Orthodontics) and a range of LEED-experienced healthcare and hospitality work.

MSA operates a project-based professional services revenue model with customized proposals priced by scope, complexity, and services required; multi-year engagements are referenced but no standardized pricing is publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-style, relying on direct principal-led client relationships, builder/developer partnerships, and a digital presence (website, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Houzz). The firm is certified as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Emerging Small Business (ESB) and holds active memberships in AIA, IIDA, GBCI, NAHB, the Greater San Antonio and New Braunfels builders associations, ULI San Antonio, and NFIB.
