With a legacy stretching from 1962, H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture is a collaborative community of professionals founded in 2004 by celebrated architect Hugh Hardy, FAIA, and guided by Hugh and four partners: Ariel Fausto, AIA, LEED AP; John Fontillas, AIA, LEED AP; Geoff Lynch, AIA, LEED AP; and Daria Pizzetta, AIA. From our centrally located Manhattan office, H3’s talented team delivers a distinctive and successful approach to planning and design that fosters dialogue among history, innovation, and contemporary use.

 

Dedicated to the creation of active public spaces, H3 is a nationally recognized leader in the planning and design of buildings that enhance the fabric and culture of our communities. We design projects that respond to their surroundings, honor cultural heritage, and serve as catalysts for vibrancy.

 

Because of our commitment to communities, sustainability—environmental, economic, and social—plays a key role in our design approach and everyday lives.  We commit at wealth of knowledge to ensure that each project uses resources and materials innovatively and economically.  As Building Information Modeling pioneers, we embrace technology as an essential tool to increase design and construction efficiency.

 

The restrained size of our office permits us to tailor our attention to a select number of clients. Collaboration and communication are hallmarks of our practice: we believe that good ideas come from any member of a team.  We keep relationships with our clients intentionally intimate, and encourage their involvement from the beginning of a project to its conclusion.
