About Joe Cliggott

With a career that includes both living and working internationally, my passion and focus has always been on architecture that has a positive benefit to society, regardless of scale, location or type. From high rise commercial office buildings to large scale mixed use projects, from intimately scaled hospitality to major healthcare facilities, the common thread for me is the opportunity to collaborate with thoughtful clients, inspirational consultants and experienced contractors all while delivering architectural projects with strong concepts through an iterative process that meets users\' needs and is expressed with an honest and appropriate use of materials.With a base in Chicago, the greatest American city for architecture, I strive towards a simple goal: improving the built environment.
