The Miller/Hull Partnership

Public Works

The Miller|Hull Partnership

The award-winning work featured in The Miller|Hull Partnership: Public Works challenges the notion that public buildings must be mundane in appearance or functionality.

Seventy per cent of the firm’s projects involve public funding. Their 2005 renovation of the University of Washington’s Conibear Shellhouse in Seattle exemplifies their architectural ethos. The site, once on the edge of a city dump, is surrounded by newly restored wetlands with pathways that link to an existing nature walk, providing public access to the shoreline. This same ethos is in their nine-story high-rise condominium built on a small lot in the revitalized River North district of Chicago.

The Miller|Hull Partnership: Public Works features photographs, renderings and project plans representing diverse building typologies – schools, nature centers, community centers, mixed-use buildings, laboratories, corporate offices and high-rise residences. These projects are the best demonstration of how the Miller|Hull Partnership brings life, personality and warmth to public architecture.
