HMWHITE
HMWhite was founded on the principle that the designed landscape is among the most powerful forms of cultural expression and environmental accountability. Our work is a result of a process where facts inform and intuition guides, a problem-solving approach that reveals a site’s distinctive voice and character. While each project is rooted in global thinking, we delve deeply into its local expression through the soundness of program and form, and the use of materials – yielding an intrinsic beauty that aims to awaken undiscovered consciousness of nature’s wonders. Clients and communities have come to expect our singular designs to be of a consistent clarity of vision: site-specific, artful, compassionate, timeless, and ultimately enhancing quality of life.
Founded in 2009, this boutique luxury real estate firm has worked with some of the most highly regarded developers in New York City and Miami, to sell their most ambitious projects.
