New York neighbors our flagship design office and where we got our start. Our team proudly serves New York and surrounding areas with detailed attention to every project. New York has many well-known architectural landmarks that inspire us to challenge the status quo with fearless designs.
Whether it's custom architectural design services for your upscale restaurant or a workspace with ample design, even without ample space, we have the resources to shape your environment no matter the size.
We have vast experience in commercial projects throughout New York. Our goal is to craft memorable and functional spaces by truly listening to your needs. We stay hyper-focused on the details — because that’s what matters.

We discuss your needs and goals in a 30-minute complimentary consultation.
You'll receive a detailed proposal, including inspiration photos based on what we believe you're looking for and cost estimates for the project.
If you decide to proceed with partnering with us, you'll e-sign the proposal and submit a deposit to get started—no paper, no hassle.
We host a 90-minute onboarding session, either in person at your site or virtually via the HH Designers app if needed. This session allows our team to deeply understand the physical space, operational flow, and any logistical constraints (e.g., DOB permits, building access, noise ordinances) that may impact the design process.
You’ll meet directly with our Executive Vision Director, who leads our creative process and asks the right questions to uncover the deeper “why” behind your project. Whether you're aiming to create a calming pediatric waiting room or an elevated co-working space, this session anchors our direction.
We craft a custom design brief that outlines your timeline, budget, visual goals, and functional needs in detail. You’ll have a clear roadmap for what’s ahead—no surprises, just full alignment from day one.
We combine deep market research with spatial planning to deliver schematic designs that speak to your audience—and stand out in New York’s crowded design landscape.
We begin with neighborhood and market research, evaluating local competitors, design expectations in your industry, and what your clientele values in a physical environment. Whether your audience expects sleek minimalism in SoHo or traditional elegance on the Upper West Side, we translate those insights into spatial decisions.
We create a functional layout and space plan that prioritizes both aesthetics and operational efficiency. This includes detailed considerations for staff movement, public access, ADA compliance, mechanical zones, and more—essential for working within the complexity of New York building codes.
You’ll receive a schematic design package featuring floor plans, material palettes, proposed finishes, and design language that ties together your brand and goals. We’ll walk you through each recommendation and discuss how every decision ladders up to business results.
We also conduct a financial alignment check, ensuring the selected elements match your budget expectations while still delivering the impact you need. Our goal is to stretch your dollars without compromising your vision.
We produce photo-realistic 3D renderings that show your actual future space—capturing texture, lighting, and depth across key angles. From an executive conference room in Midtown to a multi-unit residential lobby in Bushwick, we bring your design to life before a single wall moves.
Our team specifies FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) that are both beautiful and built to handle the realities of NYC usage and traffic. We prioritize pieces that balance form, function, and durability, while also considering delivery timelines, sourcing restrictions, and union labor limitations when relevant.
Whenever possible, we provide physical samples of finishes and materials—so you can touch the texture of your seating fabric or see the grain of your flooring in natural light. This tactile element makes sure your space doesn’t just look good in theory—it feels right in practice.
All materials and products are pre-specified in advance using trusted national and contract-grade vendors. That means fewer procurement surprises, faster order processing, and fewer delays—critical in a city where timing is everything.
You’ll receive a beautifully printed Spec Book, along with digital CAD files and PDFs ready to distribute to your architect, contractor, or MEP consultant. Every page is clean, legible, and designed to eliminate ambiguity—down to the lighting elevation height and door hardware placement.
Inside your Spec Book you’ll find comprehensive ID drawings, electrical layouts, millwork details, ceiling and lighting plans, annotated elevations, finish schedules, and product specs. It’s a full build-out guide engineered for seamless handoff and execution, even across large teams.
Our team remains available throughout the build phase to answer contractor questions, clarify design intent, or recommend substitutions if needed. Whether your site is dealing with delivery delays or union coordination, we stay in the loop to ensure the final result matches your vision.
We discuss your New York property’s needs and vision in a complimentary 30-minute consultation—whether you're opening a dental clinic in Queens, redesigning a nonprofit headquarters in Manhattan, or launching a retail concept in Williamsburg. We aim to understand how your space needs to function for your audience and how it should feel from the moment someone walks in.
You’ll receive a detailed proposal that includes carefully selected inspiration images based on your brand, goals, and industry. We also include an initial scope of work, estimated budget ranges based on NYC labor and materials, and a vision aligned with what’s trending—and lasting—in the local market.
If we’re aligned and you’re ready to move forward, you’ll e-sign the proposal and submit your deposit digitally to reserve your project slot. No paperwork or back-and-forth—just a seamless start to a high-impact collaboration.
