A+ Retreat Design Studio

A+Retreat Design Studio has been led by Hoa Vo since 2023, offering comprehensive residential and commercial design services. Hoa began his design journey with luxury resort projects along the East Sea and has since expanded into a broad range of design disciplines. In addition to running his studio, he has served as a Designer at VM Concept Interior Design since 2021, contributing to high-end residential, retail, and hospitality projects in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, Arizona, as well as Ogden and Huntsville, Utah. Recognized for his extensive knowledge spanning art, design, and business strategy, Hoa brings a unique multidisciplinary perspective to every project. His 2024 highlights include the rehabilitation of an abandoned building into urban live-work spaces in downtown Ogden, the transformation of a residence in the Shea Corridor that increased in value from $1.4M to $2.3M, and the exhibition of his original wall sconce design at Milan Design Week 2024. Beyond interior architecture, Hoa is also proud of his early commercial design work, helping bring some of the first Asian milk tea brands to the U.S. in 2014. His clients’ businesses—such as Dingtea and R&B Tea in California—continue to thrive, while in Arizona he currently partners with MilkRun, Regions Tea, and Ti-Li Boba. Hoa earned his Master of Interior Architecture (MIA) with distinction from Arizona State University. A native of Southeast Asia, his diverse background—from oil painting and graphic design to architecture and interiors—enables him to merge client needs with refined aesthetics, creating original and meaningful concepts tailored to each project.
