Hoyt ArchitectsBuilding unique architectural spaces through experiential design. Urban projects need to activate the street, respect their context, and create a memorable experience. Public space often defines the heart and soul of a community. Designing the space outside the building is just as important as the building itself. Civic spaces play a unique role in the community. The architect must understand and shape the larger civic realm: enabling, assembling, and enriching the community. At our core, we are problem-solvers driven by a deep desire to fully understand and tackle the unique urban design challenges associated with complex projects. |

In a world overflowing with choices, we want to know what makes people decide to choose one place over another: Why drive by three other perfectly fine supermarkets and choose this grocery store? Why drive ten miles to hang out at this urban district? Or why choose to live in this neighborhood or set up an office at this address, over some other area? |
