What Margulies Hoelzli Architecture does

Margulies Hoelzli Architecture (MHA) is a privately held, full-service architecture firm founded in 2006 and domiciled in New York as Margulies Hoelzli Architecture PLLC. The firm provides architectural design, master planning, interior design, and project management services across a deliberately diversified sector mix that includes industrial logistics and manufacturing facilities, data centers, aviation infrastructure (FBO, hangars, terminals, and eVTOL vertiports), commercial mixed-use developments, cultural venues, and public infrastructure. Over a 20-year operating history, MHA has designed and executed more than 45 million square feet of building projects across U.S. states including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, and Indiana, as well as international engagements in Qatar and Berlin, Germany.

The firm operates through a studio model in which principals Daniel M. Margulies, Matthew P. Hoelzli, and Richard P. Saunderson are directly involved from schematics through construction. Service delivery is built on Design-Build-Develop, Design-Build, and Engineering/Architectural delivery methods, with collaborative relationships integral to project execution. MHA supplements internal capabilities through partnerships with specialized firms such as Thornton Tomasetti for structural and MEP engineering and KEO for GCC/Europe data center delivery. The firm maintains three regional offices — Northeast (New York), Southeast (Sarasota, FL), and Southwest (Dallas, TX) — and a roster of approximately 40 named architects.

MHA's revenue is generated through professional services fees tied to project scope, complexity, and duration; pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed standard tiers. The client base is concentrated among large enterprise operators and government entities, including Amazon, Samsung, Equinix, Atlantic Aviation, Trader Joe's, Freshpet, CANPACK, NYC Economic Development Corporation, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and developers such as EQT Exeter and Rockefeller Group. Go-to-market is direct, principal-led enterprise field sales, supplemented by a website portfolio and earned media coverage in outlets such as Hospitality Design and Time Out.
