Hillier

Studio Hillier LLC is an interdisciplinary design firm in Princeton, NJ, co-founded in 2011 by partners Barbara A. Hillier, AIA, and J. Robert Hillier, LHD, FAIA, PP. Together for more than 30 years, they form the backbone of a vibrant, growing full-service architectural studio that has the depth of experience and design talent to take on a challenge of any scope. They work collaboratively with experts in the region and elsewhere who bring excellence and robust knowledge of the latest building technologies including prefabrication and environmental systems and the preservation of historic structures. Their success is reflected in the number of repeat clients who recognise their rigorous standards of performance in meeting occupancy dates, managing the budget and delivering high-quality design and professional services. With over 350 design awards, their reputation for excellence is evidence of their commitment to their clients, to place, to sustainability and to the built environment. J.
