Hbra Architects,

HBRA Architects was founded in 1961 by James Wright Hammond, who conceived of the practice as an opportunity to reach clients in a personal manner and to interpret their needs and desires through direct participation in all phases of the design and construction process. Thomas Beeby resigned from a large firm to join Hammond in the creation of a smaller, more interactive office capable of addressing a wide range of project types and scope. Directors Michele Silvetti-Schmitt and William Kinane continue this tradition, sharing the belief that collaborative engagement between client and architect produce the finest buildings.
