Principal
Peggy received her Bachelor of Architecture degree from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona where she spent an year studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. Prior to establishing Hsu McCullough, Peggy worked at several architectural and real estate development companies where she fully guided design and construction projects ranging from single family residences, executive suites in office buildings, mixed-use condominium developments and boutiques restaurants located throughout Southern California. Peggy is a licensed architect in California.
Principal
Upon graduating with distinction from Carleton University School of Architecture in Canada, Chris moved to Osaka, Japan to work in an architecture office. From there, he later worked for 12 years at a design-build architecture firm in Los Angeles before forming Hsu McCullough, an idea born through the design and construction of his first home together with his wife Peggy Hsu. Chris has over 25 years of architectural design experience with a specific focus on custom luxury homes as well as restoration of historic homes by architects such as Cliff May, Ray Kappe and David Hyun.
Chris was blessed to spend ample time in the country as well as the city during his childhood. He has as much love for plants as building structures. Landscape - especially trees - are typically weaved into Hsu McCullough homes.
Project Architect
A graduate of Cal Poly Pomona, Soroush’s command of design visualization along with incorporating the latest technology in project design and delivery provide integral success to each Hsu McCullough project.

We work with homeowners to build their dream homes.
From finding the perfect lot to providing overall project budget estimates, schedules, design, permitting right to the finished home, our service is inclusive. So you don’t have to work out the details on your own.
Architecture and Interior Design: We have completed homes as well as other spaces of all sizes since 1998.
Engineering: We partner up with the best surveyors, civil, soils and structural engineers in your city to ensure your home is safe and energy efficient.
Permit Processing: Our secret is that we are really good at the boring stuff too, like expeditiously permitting through the local city’s entitlement process.
Construction: We can introduce you to our always growing network of contractors that will build your home as we shepherd you through this process.
We celebrate the talented experts that we work with on all of our projects.
If you are a contractor, builder, developer, engineer, interior or landscape designer, photographer, videographer, or in another related field, and would like to work with us, get in touch.
