Our firm is interested in projects that engage directly with clients as passionate about their work and lives as we are about ours. Our firm is not so much focused on a project type as much as we are on creating thoughtful, useful and beautiful design solutions through a highly collaborative design process. Over the past several years, our work has focused on commercial space, performing arts spaces, single and multi-family residential and social infrastructure projects.
Hammersley Architecture was founded in 2008. Our studio is located in the historic Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. We explore the potential of architecture through both active projects and speculative works.
Our Approach page explains in further depth our attitudes towards and goals for our work.
