H3 Architecture is a New York-based architecture and planning firm that operates as a collaborative studio guided by a core team, including Ariel Fausto, John Fontillas, and Daria Pizzetta. Rooted in the legacy of founder Hugh Hardy, the practice emphasizes planning for public building types and strives to balance history, innovation, and contemporary use in its projects. The firm prioritizes context-responsive design and aims to honor community cultural heritage, while pursuing energy-efficient facilities and sustainable renewal through credentialed professionals. Its relatively small size enables focused, one-on-one client relationships from project inception through completion.

In 2017, H3 became the independent Performing Arts, Cultural and Academic Building Studio within Arquitectonica International Corporation, leveraging a broader global platform while maintaining its specialized focus. The firm is positioned within the architecture and planning industry to serve public buildings with a tailored, contextually aware approach, integrating sustainability and cultural sensitivity into its work.
