Eckenhoff Saunders
Eckenhoff Saunders is a 50-person, Chicago-based architecture, planning, and interior design firm. Our work involves innovative problem-solving, client-centered service, technical expertise, and pragmatic experience. We collaborate with diverse organizations in the healthcare, hospitality, commercial+workplace, k-12 education, and higher education markets to develop meaningful design solutions that enhance the lives of those who experience our buildings. IT'S ABOUT BALANCE We believe architecture is about more than designing a structure; it's about balance. Between form and function, requirements and vision, innovation and tradition. Between the building, the environment, and the community it serves. We enhance these relationships with compelling design solutions. DESIGNING FOR OUR CLIENTS, NOT OUR PORTFOLIO Every phase of the design process is a collaborative effort between our clients and the Eckenhoff Saunders team from a project's inception through its completion and beyond.
