Who We Are

Better together than we are apart

HGA is a national interdisciplinary design firm rooted in architecture and engineering. We believe that enduring, impactful design results from deep insight into the people and passions that animate each unique environment. We value empathy, are fueled by curiosity, and embrace the hard work that leads to innovation. HGA’s work has received numerous awards and top rankings from our own industries, as well as those of our clients. Equally as meaningful to us is the shared legacy we create with our clients.

Our Values

Empathy

Empathy is understanding and being sensitive to others’ perspectives—both internally with our colleagues and externally with our clients.

Our Values

Curiosity

Curiosity is the root of creativity. It is about wanting to learn, exploring new ideas, and seeking knowledge.

Our Values

Meaningful Work

Meaningful work is about careful listening, tenacious problem solving, and setting ambitious goals to get to solutions that surpass the status quo.

Our Values

Originality

Originality—thinking independently and creatively— is the foundation of an unexpectedly great solution. We encourage these traits in others by staying open minded and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.

Our Values

Lasting impact

We strive to make a lasting impact for our employees, our clients, and our communities, today and tomorrow, as well as build on the proud legacy of HGA’s founders.

International Living Future Institute (ILFI)'s Just Label

We are pleased to share that HGA has achieved the Just Label 2.0. Designed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), Just is a nutrition label for socially just and equitable organizations. As a voluntary disclosure tool for organizations rather than a certification program, it is a transparency platform for organizations to disclose their operations, including how they treat their employees and where they make financial and community investments.

Equity is a living, breathing part of HGA, reflected in our strategy, our people, our design, and our community engagement. We are committed to fostering an equitable culture where everyone is valued; applying an integrated, holistic design approach that engages the people most impacted by our design; advancing accessibility for all; and using resources responsibly to shape a positive future for our communities.
