OUR COMMITMENT
In a time where the economy is emerging from the drought of development, commerce and construction, new businesses are being developed, communities revitalized, and non-profits realized and expanding. Owners and organizations invest countless hours to their initiatives and are dedicated to the people they serve. Taking the step towards building and expansion requires an architectural team that is just as dedicated.
At Cole Hil, our architectural team will relentlessly seek to understand the heartbeat and vision of an owner or organization. We believe in thorough research, team collaboration and in a creative design process, which enables us to meet our Partner’s current goals and consider the potential requirements of tomorrow. Our team is successful because we go beyond drawing four walls, instead we take great care in creating meaningful environments with our Partner’s vision woven throughout. We are an architectural firm with the gift for innovation, and passion for thoughtful design. We will do whatever it takes to see that, through a joint effort, the architecture we design has a positive impact just as the Partners we serve do.

Collaboration is Key
Quality Team + Open Communication is a must!
At Cole Hil, collaborating with passionate, qualified team members is key. Agreeing with a powerful statement from Steve Jobs, we are extremely selective with how we assemble our team… “My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other’s kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That’s how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they’re done by a team of people.” At Cole Hil, we strive to ensure communication is clear and concise, which helps us understand the goals of our Partners, therefore making their vision a dynamic reality.
