A BOU T HOK HOK is a global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm. Our 1,700 people collaborate across a network of 26 offices on three continents.

HOK designs buildings and spaces that respond to the needs of people and the environment. Our designers are rooted in technical excellence, driven by imagination and focused on a solitary goal: to deliver solutions that inspire clients and communities. HOK’s mission is to deliver exceptional design ideas and solutions through the creative blending of human need, environmental stewardship, value creation, science and art.

Human need is the foundation of our creative process. Everything we do responds to the needs and aspirations of our clients and our communities. We give form and meaning to rooms, buildings, landscapes and cities. At every scale, we understand the flow of human activity that energizes the spaces we design. We balance internal functions with external demands of site, climate and culture.

HOK’s global practice compels us to be responsible stewards for the environment. As we shape buildings and landscapes, we preserve natural resources and celebrate sustainable values. We measure our work by its contributions to the well-being of the users and the place.

We’re proud of our St. Louis heritage.

66 years of design innovation.

HOK traces its roots back to 1949, when Co-Founder George Hellmuth joined two partners to form the architectural firm Hellmuth, Yamasaki and Leinweber.

When that partnership dissolved in 1955, Mr. Hellmuth recruited two of his star employees—design deputy Gyo Obata and production deputy George Kassabaum – to lead a new fledgling practice based in St. Louis, Missouri, and bearing the names of the three gentlemen. Advocating diversity in terms of clients, building types, services and locations, their vision positioned HOK remarkably well to adapt to the changing global landscape which has grown to become the world’s highest ranked international design firm. Today, we’ve cultivated a strong presence in the region by providing award-winning design + strategies of all sizes.

open space where the rotogravure printers were once located. The monumental stairs emphasize the original three-story opening that housed the printer. The two- story lab highlights the expanse of where the production was occurring, maintaining the idea of “here is where the innovative work is happening.”

The building was also divided into zones to minimize the amount and sizes of shafts routing through the building. The east side of the building was planned to hold the majority of the laboratories and the west side was planned to be office space. These areas were identified as such to help maintain environmental requirements within the laboratory space.

Building Organization One final planning strategy was to organize the building in a way that did not impede on the historical requirements of the building.

The laboratories were pushed to the east side of the building to minimize the mechanical shafts. In addition to that, upon study of the floor-to-floor heights, the first floor of the original 1930s structure and the 1950s addition was eliminated for lab usage.

However, one area was planned for shared
