HOK is a collective of future-forward thinkers and designers who are driven to face the critical challenges of our time. We are dedicated to improving people’s lives, serving our clients and healing the planet. Together, we cultivate a culture of design excellence at the confluence of art and science, blending the power of creative expression with a clear sense of purpose.

HOK has been carbon neutral since 2022 and is dedicated to achieving net-zero emissions in the projects we design by 2030. In 2025, on average, HOK’s projects surpassed the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2030 average energy reduction, achieving a 68.2% reduction in energy use intensity compared to baseline levels, with many already meeting or exceeding the targets. We are committed to addressing both operational and embodied carbon through innovative research and design strategies, including structural and enclosure optimization, high performance design and sustainable material selection.
