H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture, LLC

Architecture FirmEst. 1962

With a legacy stretching from 1962, H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture is a collaborative community of professionals guided by celebrated architect Hugh Hardy. Dedicated to the creation of active public spaces, H3 is a recognized leader in the planning and design of performing arts centers, theaters, museums, libraries and parks, as well as corporate, academic, residential and commercial facilities. Our focus on public building types informs a design approach responsive to context. We honor the cultural heritage of a community, adapting our architecture with each project. Energy-efficient facilities and LEED-accredited professionals confirm our commitment to the built environment, its landscape, sustainability and renewal. And as designer for the GSA?s first large-scale project to use building information modeling, we embrace technology by ensuring all H3 projects apply this innovative process. Our restrained size permits us to tailor our attention to a select number of clients. We keep our client relationships intentionally intimate, and encourage their involvement from a project?s beginning to end. We have developed a distinctive and successful approach to design that fosters dialogue among history, innovation and contemporary use.
