Timeless. Functional.
One-of-a-kind.

Modern Acre Studio is a 5-star-rated custom luxury architecture studio founded by licensed architect “Abdullah” Maksym Gerasimov. We design one-of-a-kind homes — stunning, site-specific compositions where form and function are inseparable.

Licensed by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (License #31455). Structural and MEP engineering are fully coordinated through the studio’s trusted consulting engineers — one team, one vision, one coordinated set of documents.

The Founder

“Abdullah” Maksym Gerasimov

FOUNDER · LICENSED ARCHITECT

Clients don’t hire Abdullah for a floor plan — they hire him to understand a way of life and build a home around it. Nearly two decades in architecture shaped that instinct. He founded Modern Acre Studio to give every client direct access to the architect designing their home, start to finish.

Beautiful design and sound building science aren’t separate conversations for Abdullah — they happen at the same table. Current, technically sound, and built around you.
