About HASTINGS

Since our founding in 1985, HASTINGS has been deeply committed to our community and the service of our clients, producing award-winning, contextual, and sustainable design that respects our planet and celebrates local culture. 

At HASTINGS, what we value most are relationships and communication. This is the foundation of our firm culture. We place equal importance on the designs we create with our clients, and the team of experts carrying out that work. Through active collaboration with our clients, our team of talented and passionate designers are able to generate compelling and lasting work. This mindset extends to deep and meaningful relationships with contractors, administrators, and local agencies, resulting in an enjoyable process and well-executed projects. 

Our work is intentionally diverse in scale, typology, and style. Our buildings do not represent a particular “HASTINGS style," but instead are the manifestation of creative thinking in response to the unique conditions of each individual project. With every HASTINGS project, we strive for designs that are uniquely expressive, engage their occupants, and contribute positively to the environment and the greater community.
Working across typologies allows us to infuse creative ideas from one sector into another- something that is unique amongst our experience. 

HASTINGS is a nationally recognized design firm, having received over 100 design awards, over 150 LEED certifications, and we hold the #3 spot in ARCHITECT Magazine’s A50 top architecture firms in the country. We’re honored to be on this prestigious nationwide list for the last ten years and to have been the highest-ranking firm based in the Southeast.
