Austin Studio Overview

Founded by Christine Ho, Breathe Design Studio has spent years crafting interiors that feel as effortless as they are exquisite. Based in Austin, our team blends warm modernism with deeply personal design. From Texas to California, we create layered, livable spaces grounded in empathy, calm, and trust. With every project, Christine and her team bring a refined eye and a collaborative spirit to interiors that elevate everyday life.

Where It All Begins

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, we serve discerning homeowners and builders across Texas and California, including Austin, San Antonio, Palm Springs, San Francisco + Palo Alto, and Los Angeles. Our design scope spans new‑build homes, renovations, and boutique commercial interiors, always rooted in the belief that every space should feel calm, personal, and timeless.

Austin Design Portfolio

Breathe Design Studio’s portfolio reveals a modern, mood-driven aesthetic shaped by contrast, materiality, and emotional clarity.

In Phoenix, the Atomic Ranch Project House channels mid-century warmth through tonal restraint and open flow. Its Casita offers a minimal, grounded retreat designed for calm and comfort. At The Ashton, a high-rise layers deep hues, curated art, and soft geometry, evoking a tailored and serene appeal. In Westlake, a family home pairs rich tones with botanicals and sculptural forms. The Moody Modern Duplex blends walnut, charcoal, and green for a space that feels cocooned yet expansive.

Each project expresses the studio’s belief in evocative, livable modern design.

Commercial Interior Design

The studio’s commercial practice brings its signature warm‑modern aesthetic into curated workspaces, hospitality settings, and creative production environments. Their approach blends editorial‑worthy detailing with functional rigor, whether designing a photography production studio or an experiential interior project. Rooted in tailored materiality, purposeful lighting, and spatial storytelling, the goal is to craft places that feel both elevated and welcoming, striking the same balance of mood and ease found in their residential work.

Atomic Ranch Project

Nestled in the landscape of Phoenix, the Atomic Ranch Project House is a bold reinterpretation of mid‑century modern architecture guided by the ethos of Breathe Design Studio. The home embraces a fluent indoor‑outdoor life, grounded in warm materials, daylighted volumes and effortless flow. The design celebrates heritage yet moves forward: clean planes and expansive glass merge with earthy textures and a restrained palette, allowing the architecture to breathe while the interiors feel intimate and grounded. Featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine in 2021, this project reflects the studio’s commitment to spaces that feel rooted in history, yet entirely of the moment.
