Services
Handel Architects was founded in 1994 with a commitment to making cities better places to live.
We believe that architecture and design matter, and that through our work, we can make a positive difference in the world.
We strive to create buildings that are not just things in themselves, but serve as catalysts for positive urban and social change.
We look for solutions that can have an impact beyond the project, that can move the needle in some way and contribute to society and culture.
We believe that great design need not be created through arrogance and ego, but in a way that can sustain us all and allow each of us to grow and learn.

Hotels should function as a gateway to the city, offering visitors and guests an introduction to the best that an urban environment has to offer.
They can also function as the city's "living room, " a meeting place for a meal, a drink, a meeting, or a celebration.
Understanding the complex relationships between hotel owners and operators, the connections between front of house and back of house requirements, and the roles and responsibilities of the various players, is critical to the ultimate success of the day-to-day operation of the hotel.

A carefully crafted mixed-use building adds up to more than the sum of its parts, creating value for its owners, its users, and the community in which it is located.
These buildings contain a variety of building functions that support each other as well as themselves.
The users and visitors, those coming for a short time or extended periods, each may use more than one function in the complex, further enhancing the economic value of each component.
Handel Architects was founded on the principle that intelligently designed mixed-use buildings can enrich the urban experience and be drivers of economic development.

Interiors are the soul of a building.
They bring an architectural project to life, provide comfort, richness, sophistication, elegance, and a timeless quality.
The selection of materials, as well as excellent craftsmanship and details - and a deep sense of history and context - is important, and is where we spend our time.
These elements are what bring character to our interiors and allow us to elevate the design of the projects we work on.
Our residential lobbies are crafted to create a sense of oasis and welcome: people want a feeling of "coming home" when they walk through the front door.
