Charles Hilton Architects is a Greenwich, CT based design firm specializing in the finest quality custom residential architecture, sustainable design & waterfront projects. Over the past 34 years, Charles Hilton's name has become synonymous with the highest quality design & exceptional personal service. The firm has earned a reputation for producing traditionally inspired residences, landscape features & architectural interiors that are beautiful, practical & fit harmoniously in their environments. Although the firm's work stretches across the country, its focus continues to be beautifully crafted residences in Fairfield County, CT & Westchester County, NY.CHA's designs are the result of attention to several key influences. The first is the personality of the client. Rather than pursuing a signature style, the firm actively seeks to understand the distinct personal experiences, passions & dreams of every patron as unique inspiration for each new design. The second is a deep understanding & thorough application of time tested design principles. Years of working on numerous fine, traditional residences, & the continued development of an extensive reference research library, has given the firm a comprehensive understanding of traditional design methods & materials. The firm draws on this experience, together with its exhaustive research into the most current & best building practices, when designing each project. A third influence is the project setting. The firm aims to understand the opportunities & limitations inherent in each specific site, to maximize views, daylight & integration with the surrounding neighborhood. The goal is to produce beautiful, timeless designs that harmoniously address these guiding influences in an imaginative & simple built form. CHA seeks to provide each project with inherent human scale, balanced proportions, efficient planning, memorable compositions, sustainable & healthy building practices, while using expertly crafted materials.
