Humphries Poli Architects (HPA) is a professional corporation founded in 1994 with a commitment to leadership in architectural design excellence. Expertise in architecture, urban design, interiors, and preservation complements a balanced project approach and results in fresh and thoughtful solutions. The firm is directed by principals Joseph J. Poli, AIA and Dennis Humphries, AIA. Perhaps most notable among these achievements is the AIA Western Mountain Region Firm of the Year Award. This distinction follows our past selection as AIA Colorado Firm of the Year and the AIA Denver Firm of the Year. These acknowledgments are among nearly 60 awards we have received for our leadership and work now in our 23rd year of practice. HPA is a creative force designing livable communities that inspire the participants, sustain the resources, and bring joy to the users. Ennobling the Site addresses the search for contextual meaning in the surrounding community and finding ways to allow those influences to resonate throughout the solution. Inspiring the Participants begins internally and becomes infectious. Our design process is collaborative — a confluence of experience, innovation, and shared learning. HPA sees our clients as partners, encouraging them to challenge expectations. Sustaining the Resources is about more than just being environmentally responsible. Careful analysis of cost benefits and returns of innovative building systems and construction techniques allow clients to integrate sustainable components for both the short and long term. Bringing Joy to the Users is a commitment that recognizes Architecture’s impact on everyone who might be touched by a building’s quilting of landscape, material, light, rhythm, and shadow.
