Founded in 1940, HMC Architects addresses the evolving needs of communities and creates designs that foster positive impacts today and in the future. As a 100 percent employee-owned firm, HMC primarily focuses on opportunities directly benefiting communities, specializing in healthcare, education, and civic spaces. With six offices across California, HMC was named ENR California’s 2023 Design Firm of the Year and continues to lead with a community-centric approach.
In 2024, HMC was honored by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. This prestigious recognition highlights organizations transforming industries and culture through impactful innovations. Innovation at HMC is not just a goal but a foundational value, guiding every aspect of the firm’s work and the development of its employee-owners. The firm’s commitment to pay equity, leadership development, and fostering a culture of internal talent growth exemplifies its Design for Good ethos, setting it apart within the architecture industry. While the world grapples with complexity, we use design as a tool for positive change. This isn’t a response to the moment—it’s who we are.
The world changes, but HMC’s purpose remains constant. From anticipating the post-World War II demand for healthcare and civic institutions to addressing urgent social issues and environmental challenges today, HMC has always been about more than design. We exist to build healthy, resilient communities for everyone, especially those who need it most. It’s our legacy and our future.
