Pluck Architecture is a full‑service, woman-led studio in Austin, Texas. We foster a transparent, interactive process that is client-centered. In a world of seemingly infinite options, we listen and curate ideas to create a coherent vision. We walk with clients through every step of the design process, from early feasibility and permitting through interiors and construction. Each project, no matter scale or budget, is a unique expression that uses color, materials, and custom detailing with intention to create spaces that are joyful, functional, and built to last.
Harmony Grogan, AIA, is the founder and principal of Pluck Architecture. A graduate of Virginia Tech University, Harmony built her early career in high-end luxury residential architecture before establishing Pluck Architecture to pursue design that is both ambitious and accessible. Her work is rooted in a deep understanding of scale, proportion, and detail drawn from historical architecture and translated into warm and enduring contemporary spaces. An active member of Austin’s design community, she has chaired the AIA Austin Homes Tour committee and served on both the AIA Austin and Preservation Austin board of directors. She currently serves on the City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission. Harmony is licensed to practice architecture in California, Michigan, and Texas and holds a LEED AP BD+C credential.

Paxton began her career with a love for art and textiles. Her love of fiber arts, including embroidery and mixed media collaging, pushed her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Interior Architecture from the University of Tennessee. There, she found an affection for mixing materiality, designing at the human-scale, as well as exploring the larger picture of architectural design. She found a strength in combining both interiors and architecture to create a well balanced experience through the exterior and interior. She went on to receive her masters degree in architecture from the Pratt Institute and has continued to capture an understanding of proportion and context through her experience in both the interior and exterior realm. She enjoys finding inspiration through traveling and exploring art, fashion, and food wherever she finds herself.

We select interior elements including finishes, fixtures, and furnishings that integrate with the architecture.
Our priority is understanding your needs and constraints and being up front about what we can accomplish together.
