Nagle Hartray’s architectural design is distinguished by several attributes. It reflects the values and identities of those for whom it is designed. It is informed by a unique cross-fertilization of ideas and technology that comes from designing work across a broad range of project types. It exhibits a concern for a human scale that is rooted in the firm’s residential design. It is a good neighbor to the built and un-built environment.

We foster a sense of ownership for architectural design among our clients and their communities by embracing a broad and inclusive design process. We develop trust and support for project funding by engaging the public in design. We assure proper operation of mechanical systems by discussing their design with those who will maintain them. Our designs support the efforts of those who use our buildings daily because we engage their staffs from the earliest stages of planning.

We believe in architectural design as craft grounded in construction. Those who design are also project managers, specification writers, construction administrators. An understanding of construction, maintenance and cost informs our design – it is an organic part of our creative process.
