HLW is a 135+-year-old architecture and planning practice operating at 201–500 people across the US and UK, with a design-heavy org (15 of 17 open roles in design) skewed toward senior hires. The active project list—energy modeling, LEED compliance, AIA 2030 reporting, decarbonization—reveals an internal shift toward environmental performance; the tech stack (Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, Enscape) is standard for the discipline, but the absence of any carbon/sustainability-specific tooling in current use signals that decarbonization work is still manual or spreadsheet-driven.
HLW designs and plans buildings across broadcast, media, financial, technology, academic, multi-family, and mixed-use sectors. The firm operates as a partnership headquartered in New York and maintains a global presence with active hiring in the United States and United Kingdom. The portfolio spans master planning, architecture, interior design, landscape design, lighting, and sustainability strategy. Current pain points center on decarbonizing buildings and meeting regulatory frameworks (LEED, BREEAM, AIA 2030), which feature prominently in their active project pipeline.
