About

HELD Architecture is a Charlotte-based architecture firm founded by Kristina Held, AIA, with a mission to design spaces that connect people, communities, and the environment. With deep roots in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region and a strong commitment to sustainability and wellness, HELD creates architecture that blends innovation with integrity — always rooted in place, purpose, and people.

We approach every project as an opportunity to shape a more regenerative built environment — one that prioritizes energy efficiency, resilience, and quality of life. From urban infill housing to large-scale mixed-use developments, our work consistently reflects human-centered, environmentally responsible design.

Notable projects include:

  • The Cannery – A transformative mixed-use waterfront development in Salem, OR

  • Pester Pac USA Headquarters – A next-generation industrial facility in Charlotte

  • Charlotte’s First Pre-Certified Passive House – Setting a new benchmark for high-performance residential design

HELD’s philosophy and approach are guided by Kristina’s leadership and vision. As a recognized advocate for sustainable architecture and Passive House design, she brings clarity, creativity, and purpose to every project.
