Holly Street Studio is a design practice dedicated to creating places in the public realm. Our inspiration comes from civic discourse and community engagement. Our process begins with careful attention to both physical, social, and global contexts. By bringing these tools of planning to the stakeholder level, we are able to uncover the essential spirit of each project and create solutions that set their roots in the history of site and aspirations of our communities.
We are known for holistic solutions at multiple scales, a high level of service, and technical proficiency. This is revealed in projects for municipalities, centers of education, community members, non-profits, and private clients alike. We often begin with complex constraints and leverage multiple priorities to make places that change the way we see, feel, and connect. To set this in motion, HSS integrates a collective of industry experts to form seamless, multidisciplinary design teams that focus on long-term, sustainable solutions, regularly going above and beyond client expectations.
