24 locations worldwide, HOK is the

largest design firm in the U.S. and

the second largest design firm in the

world. HOK is committed to excellence

in design, complete familiarity with

and meeting any challenge in

architectural design, interior design,

engineering and planning.

HOK believes that great architecture and interiors shape the human

experience, improves the quality of the built environment and helps

conserve the earth’s resources. Our goal always is to cut through the

complexity to make life easier and better for people. Clients come to

HOK for extraordinary work developed through a highly collaborative

process. The product is tailor-made for each client’s unique vision and

framework of needs.

HOK’s fully resourced offices are staffed with the expertise of some

of the world’s top individual specialists by discipline and by sector. Our

ability to integrate all of our services and sector specialists as a unified

creative force aligns with both our clients’ expectations and what

today’s world needs from design. Offering broad services and sector

expertise in-house also contributes to better projects by streamlining

team communication and quality control.

HOK recently ranked as the world’s fourth-largest architecture

practice in the 2009 edition of the BD World Architecture 100, the

annual benchmark survey of the architectural industry. Additionally,

Interior Design’s “Top 100 Design Giants” survey of January 2008

ranks HOK as the second-largest interior design firm in the country

and the fastest growing; and in Engineering News Record’s 2008 “Top

Green Design Firms” issue, HOK ranks as number one.

Most of HOK’s regional offices provide full services, and individual

projects are managed by senior members of the firm. Each office

may draw, as required, upon the firm’s central resources, where

highly specialized staff professionals are available to lend particular

expertise. This system assures effective services at the local level

while providing access to a network of in-house specialists in a variety

of technical disciplines, a valuable resource support not available in

smaller building design firms.
