The former HOK technical director brings more than three decades of architectural experience across Asia.
Martin Haskins, has returned to HOK as managing principal of the firm’s Asia-Pacific practice. Based in Hong Kong, he provides strategic leadership for HOK’s Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai studios.
Haskins has worked across China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Mongolia, Taiwan and Thailand. His portfolio spans mixed-use, healthcare, workplace, lifestyle, aviation and transportation, and civic projects. During his previous tenure with HOK, he served as technical director in Hong Kong, guiding teams in delivering complex projects.
Haskins succeeds Paul Collins, RIBA, HKIA, LEED GA, who has retired after 23 years with HOK.
“We are thrilled Martin has returned to HOK to lead our talented teams across the Asia-Pacific practice,” said Susan Klumpp Williams, AIA, LEED AP, HOK’s co-CEO. “Paul built a strong, resilient practice, and we look forward to Martin building on that foundation while helping our clients achieve their goals.”
HOK’s current work in the region reflects the breadth of the practice. Phase one of the Kai Tak Hospital in Hong Kong opened in October 2026. HOK’s Asia-Pacific team is also providing interior concept design services for Shanghai Pudong International Airport’s Terminal 3 and recently designed a workplace for a global media company in Asia.
Haskins will take over Collins’ previous positions serving on HOK’s management board and board of directors.
