Etablished in 1965, Hartman-Cox has continuously produced award-winning, imaginative and responsible design for institutional, educational and civic clients. Its success is driven by its six partners, all of whom are actively engaged in the design and management of the projects in a highly collaborative environment. Hartman-Cox is particularly noted for its sensitivity and response to site and context, as well as its stylistic flexibility, which has consistently created buildings that are carefully tailored to their surroundings and their function.The firm has won more than 110 design awards, including six American Institute of Architects honour awards and the American Institute of Architects firm award, the highest honour the AIA bestows on a firm for design. Over the years, the architecture of Washington DC has shaped the firm's work and, according to some, the firm has been instrumental in shaping contemporary Washington architecture. The firm has now executed close to 25 major commissions in the downtown, CBD and federal government areas, many of which are featured in this new monograph.
