J.Robert Hillier, FAIA

J. Robert Hillier, FAIA, founded Hillier Architecture in 1966 and led it to become the third largest architectural firm in the United States. In 2007 Hillier merged with RMJM of Scotland and thus was created the third largest strictly-architectural firm in the world, with seventeen offices worldwide. He served as Deputy Chairman of the RMJM holding company. The Hillier firm received over 300 state, national and international design awards, many of them for projects for which Hillier personally was the lead designer. In 1998, Architectural Record identified Hillier Architecture as one of the best managed firms in the United States.

Hillier Architecture completed projects worldwide including: international schools in Vienna, Paris, Frankfurt, Prague, Dubai, Doha, Budapest, Bahrain, Istanbul, Cairo and Chanai, India; several mixed use projects in China; The New Frontiers Research Center, Harlow, United Kingdom; several buildings on the campuses of The Peddie School, Hightstown, New Jersey, The Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts. Other Hillier projects include the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, Star City, a mixed use complex in Sydney, Australia, GlaxoSmithKline's world wide headquarters in London, the Supreme Court Building restoration in Washington, DC, the Bryant University Campus in Smithfield R.I., and several corporate headquarters across the United States.

In 1989 Bob was named New Jersey’s Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. Magazine. In 2001, he was the first recipient of the Leonardo da Vinci award from the Professional Services Management Association for lifetime leadership in his profession. In 2007, Bob was the recipient of the AIA’s Michael Graves Lifetime Achievement Medal, and in 2009 he received the NJIT President’s Medal for Lifetime Achievement. In 2013 Bob received the 75th Anniversary Legacy Award from the Urban Land Institute for his work in land conservation and affordable housing. In 2017, Bob received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from New Jersey Institute of Technology. Bob has lectured extensively in the United States at schools of architecture and to AIA chapters.

In 2009, Bob and Barbara established Studio Hillier, a new type of architectural firm based on land use strategy and execution where the firm both designs and develops projects for its own account. In its work, this new firm focuses on community need, neighborhood enhancement, and opportunities for architectural excellence while providing reasonable returns to investors.

Barbara Hillier, AIA

Barbara’s professional career in architecture spans three decades. Many of her projects have garnered critical attention and recognized for design distinction. Her interests in human interaction and behavior, and in particular, how we perceive and receive visual information are part of the matrix through which she understands the meaning of space and the making of place.
