We are a human-centric, research based architecture and urbanism practice in downtown Princeton. Founding partners Barbara A. Hillier and J. Robert Hillier lead the studio of interdisciplinary staff. Our storefront location in the old Witherspoon Jackson neighborhood is apropos of our desire to reach into the places where people live and to engage them in the conversation about the future.
Our convictions and beliefs about architectural practice remain unchanged. We believe in the inclusivity of architecture and that it is open-ended and without limitation. We believe in the profound need for dialogue between people and between the public and private spheres. We view architects as artists and thinkers, technologists and writers, makers and doers, who deserve a humane workplace where they can thrive. Fundamentally, we believe that architecture exists within the interdisciplinary corpus of cultural production, that it performs as both index and path for advancing society and human history.
Studio Hillier LLC has been in operation since 2011. We are registered in the State of New Jersey as a WBE, Women’s Business Enterprise.
