Nagle Hartray Architecture


Chicago firm Nagle Hartray Architecture was founded in 1966. The firm's early reputation was grounded in single-family and multi-family housing. Recent and current projects reflect diversification of the former focus, emphasizing educational, spiritual, civic, and media communication programs. Nagle Hartray has received over 75 industry design awards to date. In 2017, the firm merged with Sheehan Partners to form Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects.

Chicago Tribune critic Blair Kamin characterized the firm as "one of the medium-sized firms that makes Chicago's architecture scene so strong. Its lineage stretches back to the office of Harry Weese. So does its appreciation of quirkiness and sophisticated contextualism."
The AIA Chicago 2009 Firm Award Jury said of the firm's work: "The architecture is an excellent and deft blend of design that is both rich yet restrained, contemporary yet referential, and powerful yet understated."
