Award-winning architect Nicholas Ho currently serves as Deputy Managing Director of hpa (previously known as Ho & Partners Architects Engineers & Development Consultants Ltd.). Ho is the Council member of Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) (2017/2018), the member of the HKSAR Economic Development Commission - Working Group on Professional Services (2016-2019) and the council member of Lingnan University (2016-2019).

Ho expanded hpa with a strong presence in Southeast Asia, establishing a practice, hpa Design Studio (SE Asia) Sdn. Bhd., headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Under his dedicated leadership, the firm has undertaken major commissions celebrated for its comprehensive property services offerings - from architectural and interior design to city planning, from development consultancy to investment advisory, providing a ONE-STOP development platform to private, public institutions and government bodies.

Ho has a keen interest in exporting Hong Kong professional services abroad, as exemplified by his current projects across Southeast Asia, Europe and US.
