JHP Architecture / Urban Design
JHP is an award-winning architecture, planning and urban design firm practicing nationally from its base in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 1979 the firm’s primary practice areas include such specialty markets as: Transit Oriented Development (TOD), high-density urban infill communities, mixed-use, sustainable development, and market-rate, senior, student and affordable housing. JHP is dedicated to providing high quality design solutions through analysis, thoughtful design and professional representation. We have an appreciation for the economic forces that motivate clients to invest in and develop real estate. We are steadfast in our belief that environmentally intelligent design, planning and building is essential to our world’s future. Our obligation is to those who live with — and within — our decisions.
Purpose
Our obligation is to those who live with — and within — our decisions. We are committed to putting "People over Places", and to providing high quality solutions to housing and community design.
Vision
We celebrate the good and we turn challenges into opportunities, then opportunities into Architecture. People are the center point of all design and we ground ourselves in that. We believe that sustainability, Whole Community Design, wellbeing, and experience can drive us just about anywhere.
Mission
We aim to not get caught up in the ego of the finished product, but rather the humility of the mission. As with everything we do, JHP approaches challenges as a complex design problem, a problem that through collaboration, creativity, and deep exploration often reveal great opportunities.
Additional Culture Details
An enduring phrase that echoes through the studios of JHP is ‘Work Hard, Play Hard!’. It’s an ethos that seems to be embedded in our DNA. We all know that Architecture is hard work, but if you do it right, it’s also a lot of fun. It’s how we navigate good times and challenges.
