About HOK

HOK brings architecture, engineering, planning, and interiors together in a design practice with offices across the United States. Its offering connects the configuration of buildings with technical systems and their urban surroundings. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

Its markets include aviation, healthcare, higher education, science, civic facilities, and corporate environments. Landscape, lighting, and sustainable design are also presented as disciplines for projects requiring coordination across different scales of intervention. Reviewing references by program and context helps identify which aspects of the practice can respond to the priorities of a particular assignment and its intended users.

An initial inquiry benefits from identifying the building use, location, approximate area, and whether the assignment involves new construction or an existing property. Reviewing comparable projects helps frame a discussion about scope, design stages, and coordination with the specialists required for the proposed work.
