Twenty-five years ago today we created an architectural firm with the hope that we could make a difference in the world. It’s been quite a journey, leading us to people and places around the world and involvement in some of the most interesting and important projects of our time. We are honored and humbled that our firm has been so successful, and we’d like to acknowledge the tremendous debt of gratitude that we owe to everyone who has supported us along the way.

To our incredible clients, who have believed in us and given us the gift of trust, who have supported us, nurtured us and encouraged us… thank you.

To our amazing team of associates, senior associates, associate principals, principals, partners, and support staff, both those working with us now and our alumni who are working to find their own way to make the world a better place… thank you.

To the passionate, dedicated members of our profession with whom we have collaborated and been inspired by, who struggle every day to create the best work possible and to have the greatest positive impact on the world... thank you.

To the engineers, consultants, builders, subcontractors, vendors and allied professionals that we have worked with over the years that have helped us have a deeper and more profound understanding of the problems we are attempting to solve... thank you.

And to the artists, poets, philosophers, scientists, writers, urbanists, and economists who have helped us see the world more clearly… thank you.

We would also like to recognize the public officials, planners, members of government agencies, non-profits and NGO’s that we have worked with and who serve the public interest. Your commitment to improving the lives of people is a source of inspiration for all of us.

It’s been a spectacular 25 years, and we look forward to collaborating with you for another 25. Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,

Handel Architects
