We are dedicated to creating spaces that inspire and unite our community.

Pillar Architecture Studio, founded in January 2022 by Bruce W. Hoelscher, AIA, LEED AP, and Amy Wu Silva, AIA, NCARB, is dedicated to designing functional and innovative architectural spaces that serve as pillars within their communities. With over 45 years of combined experience, our principals bring a wealth of expertise to every project, focusing on refined simplicity and crafting unique, client-tailored solutions.

As a subsidiary of KPA Civil Engineers, Pillar Architecture Studio upholds a strong tradition of community involvement and leadership. Our offices, located in the heart of downtown Georgetown and Temple, reflect our commitment to Central Texas, where we are proud sponsors of local events and initiatives.

At Pillar, we see design as a collaborative journey between owner and architect, guided by a shared vision of creating beautiful, sensible, and value-conscious spaces. Our diverse portfolio spans both private and public sector projects across the U.S. and internationally, yet we are especially passionate about planting roots in Central Texas. We are devoted to providing context-driven, high-quality solutions that meet the unique needs of each project.
