My values are “embedded” in the Architecture I make together with committed Clients and these collaborations enrich lives.

Hugo Hardy has built his practice on the belief that although the world moves forward at an accelerated pace the fundamentals that make Architecture of quality are immutable.

 

A strong ethical, moral and professional responsibility to my Clients.

A willingness to strive alongside my Clients in partnership to realize the full potential of a project within the well define constraints of a considered brief.

An awareness that Architecture is about people and their communities who benefit alongside Clients who are in a position to make a difference. Whether these patrons are private or public institutions or individuals.

The process of producing a fine piece of Architecture faces many hurdles but those who care about culture, creative buildings and happy communities can leave a legacy from their patronage and experience a creative and engaging process leading to a rewarding building.

“When successful I hope my projects appear simple and of the place in which they are set, that they root my building designs into a larger cultural tradition, the work, where opportune, repairs or re-connects the urban or landscape fabric through interventions without pastiche or iconic aspirations. My building designs are more than the status quo because they seek to revalue, to take a position on what is important, to select the details, material and cultural characteristic latent in a landscape or site.
