Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge was founded in 1961 by James Wright Hammond, who conceived of the practice as an opportunity to reach clients in a personal manner and interpret their needs and desires through direct participation in all phases of the design and construction process. Thomas Beeby, Dennis Rupert and Gary Ainge continue this tradition with the belief that collaborative efforts between client and architect result in the finest buildings. The principals have always prided themselves in bringing the sophistication of a large firm to a more personal manner of practice.

Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge has maintained its offices in Chicago for forty-six years. The firm has structured itself to undertake projects of great diversity of scale and usage, including museums, performing arts centers, libraries, academic buildings, religious buildings, residences, office buildings, urban and campus master plans, and renovations of historic buildings. We are recognized for designing projects requiring sensitivity to existing contexts, and for an ability to translate diverse building challenges of any scale to structures that are responsive to client needs and specific site conditions.
