Our Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement

COLLABORATIVE DESIGN + EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS THAT ENHANCE – YOUR BUSINESS + OUR COMMUNITY + THE ENVIRONMENT

As a firm we promote a collaborative design approach, both within our studio & with our client. We’ve learned that listening.. really listening, leads to success. We listen not only to our clients, but to the full spectrum of individuals that will be impacted by our projects. It is a simple strategy that works.

YOUR BUSINESS

Your client is our client. As project type experts, we have extensive experience designing spaces similar to yours. But, every project is different. At HBA we listen to your goals, rather than tell you what everyone else is doing. We immerse ourselves in your culture, brand and mission to ensure that we are designing with your passion in mind. Likewise, we recognize that the only constant is change.. missions change, technology evolves, and staff transition. While we can’t forecast the future, we build flexibility into our design and accommodate for change, so that your facilities can grow with you.

Our Community

We recognize that construction of a new building impacts the whole community. We’re well known for our experience with facilitating community meetings to ensure that you are a good neighbor. How does this space improve the built environment and the human condition? What design changes can be made to ensure that this space is beneficial for all? How does this project elevate the neighborhood?

THE ENVIRONMENT

With 41% of U.S. energy consumption attributed to buildings, we recognize our responsibility to be good stewards of our environment. Regardless of if you are pursuing LEED certification, we approach every project with sustainability in mind. The outcome? Efficiencies that you can be proud of, and that financially benefit your bottom line.

As our firm continued to grow, we moved to Town Center Virginia Beach and became one of the first companies to call it home. From working on Town Center tenant upfits in our Commercial Studio, to frequenting local businesses for lunch and coffee – we’re proud of the hand we’ve had in helping Town Center grow to what it is today.
