OUR STORY It all started in 1987 in the Fulton Market when it was an active meat packing district in the middle of Chicago. Founded by Ray Hartshorne and Jim Plunkard, Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is inspired by the power that buildings have to positively contribute to the economic and social fabric of urban communities. We are innovative designers who share a common sensibility toward placemaking and the resourcefulness to drive projects forward - from challenging, complex building rehabilitations of desolate landmarked structures, to compelling new developments that set the bar for sustainability and marketplace success. Our portfolio spans the innovative reuse of time-worn historic buildings, cutting edge skyscrapers and multi-purpose projects that revive postindustrial destinations.

FULTON-RANDOLPH MARKET DISTRICT Chicago, Illinois HPA’s impact on this neighborhood cannot be understated. HPA moved to the neighborhood in 2000, radically changed it with 1KFulton starting in 2013, then continued to be the resident experts in the neighborhood after the formation of the Landmark District in 2015. New construction, restoration and creative construction techniques were employed for the many unique situations in the aging meatpacking district, now one of the most unique and lively entertainment districts in the country.

MAY HOSIERY
In 1897, Jacob May and opened the Rock City Hosiery Mill. In 1908, May incorporated the company under a new name, May Hosiery Mills, and opened a new location next to a railroad terminal in South Nashville. The mill was among the largest employers in Nashville for much of the 20th century, employing many Jewish refugees whom the May family helped flee Nazi Germany in the 1930s. At its height, the mill manufactured a million socks a week, supplying department stores and the NASA Apollo 11 crew. The mill ceased operations in 1985 and has since served as space for artists and businesses.

HPA’s adaptive reuse transforms the historic building into a boutique hotel with banquet facilities, multiple restaurants and retail spaces, and a new rooftop addition overlooking Millennium Park. Extraordinary care was taken to retain elements of building’s late 19th century architectural details intact and create a contemporary atmosphere that pays homage to Henry Ives Cobb’s original design. In addition to the adaptive reuse scope, HPA provided design of the interior amenity spaces and coordinated the extensive restoration effort with the National Park Service.
