Michael Hoffner, AIA, is the principal of höffnerdesignstudio, an Oklahoma City practice specializing in architecture, historic preservation, and interior design. The practice’s award-winning projects, replete with beautifully crafted details, range from entire campuses to smaller, highly idiosyncratic architectural endeavors. Michael’s work in historic preservation emphasizes empathy for historic buildings through personification, focusing on retaining each project’s unique authenticity. He chairs the AIACOC Committee on the Environment (COTE) and the Small Firms Roundtable. Additionally, Michael represents the State of Oklahoma on the National AIA Small Firms Exchange (SFx). His leadership and innovative approach to preserving authenticity continues to shape the future of sustainable and thoughtful architectural practices.
Timothy Neville-Lee is an architect from London, England. He joined the London-based firm of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) in 2005, where he gained diverse experience in the office, residential, leisure, and healthcare sectors. In 2012 he answered the call to relocate to Oklahoma City, OK, where the firm had decided to pursue burgeoning architectural opportunities. Since arriving, AHMM has completed over 30 projects in Oklahoma City, and Timothy has been involved in many of them, notably Mosaic apartments and OKSea in Deep Deuce, Block 13 office building and Condos at the Wheeler District, Bob Moore Auto Group HQ, The Plow building in Bricktown, 8th Street Market, Social Capital, Central Exchange, and most recently The Citizen building at 5th and Robinson.
Timothy is married with two children, and when not designing buildings, he spends his time sitting at a piano, mostly for his own pleasure, but occasionally playing with the jazz band Katie and the Elements, which he formed in 2014. Otherwise, he enjoys exploring Oklahoma with his family and finding attractive places to hike.
