Serve.

We create with passion architecture design that has great impact.
Since our founding thirty one years ago, HH Fremer Architects has provided conscientious solutions to our clients’ architectural and planning efforts. Led by founding Principal Hal Fremer, our team of programmers, architects, designers, project managers, and technical consultants consistently delivers exceptional results which arise from careful consideration of our clients’ aspirations.
HHFA operates on the belief that the nature of architecture is in its details. The success of our approach is evident in our innovative designs and our strong reputation for quality renovation. Where practical elements are paramount, we must pay special attention to creating spaces where function can coexist with inspiration. Details can elevate a project’s architectural impact – while never sacrificing comfort and accessibility – and address how the built environment can enrich the experience of its occupants, its surroundings, and its ecosystem as a whole.
Our customers have been with us for over 30 years.
Our clients recommend us to colleagues.
