Harriman combines the legacy of two design firms into an even stronger, more flexible and robust firm dedicated to enhancing the built and natural environment. Harriman and its urban design and planning studio, formerly known as The Cecil Group, are dedicated to providing clients with thoughtful solutions through distinctive design and innovative strategies. Together we are a more comprehensive integrated, full-service practice in architecture, engineering, urban design, planning, and landscape architecture.
Our firm applies a holistic approach that is based on collaborative teamwork and a commitment to service — an approach verified by the number of repeat clients, and an on-time, on-budget track record. Our architects, engineers, urban designers, planners, and landscape architects work closely throughout all phases of a project, providing an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that delivers creative and cost-effective solutions.
Our clients are able to realize the potential of their buildings, towns, cities, developments, parks and open spaces because they are better planned, better designed, and better engineered. We’re better because our team members in all disciplines share information continually throughout the process — a special advantage with the sophisticated, high-tech infrastructure needed in today’s built environment. Our experience, expertise, and approach result in spaces, places and buildings that are both high performing and aesthetically appropriate.
Our team is able to translate strategic goals into practical plans and designs that are highly responsive to complex economic, regulatory and community considerations. Our emphasis on effective communication allows us to foster cooperation among public and private interests and inspire local pride. As a multidisciplinary team of planners and designers we are better able to deliver the diverse expertise needed in order to successfully “put places together.”
