Since the beginning, it has been our ambition to design buildings and spaces that elegantly interlace functional, aesthetic and technical aspects to meet the requirements of our clients whilst also inspiring everyone who comes into contact with them. Over the decades, we have built an international reputation of exploring the limits of every project, using our technical and creative expertise to develop tailored solutions for our clients. Our success is documented by an award-winning portfolio covering large-scale projects across the globe and diverse, long-standing client relationships. WHAT WE DO Talabot & Hopkins Inc provides architectural designs and interior design consultancy for a wide range of clients. We work on residential projects, apartment buildings and residential houses. We also work on commercial buildings for private and public use. Some of our most famous buildings include the Majout Casino Complex in Cambodia, our first Asian contract, as well as the Frahm Opera House in the USA and the Medkas office complex in Paris. We are renowned for our enthusiasm for involving our clients in the work we do. No two buildings we create are ever the same and we would like to ensure that everything we create is bespoke to the needs of our clients. WHO WE ARE Talabot & Hopkins Inc currently has 760 employees. The majority of employees are based in North America (42%) and Europe (3196). Since we opened our offices we have had continual growth in the number of employees who work with us, due to a conservative and steady expansion strategy and a continually growing customer base. WHERE WE WORK Our first move out of Chicago was into Massachusetts, where we acquired a small company and began working on the design of an office park outside of Boston. This project resulted in our first award for architectural excellence. Five years later, we won our first contract in Europe, which was in partnership with ForslunDesign. After the successful delivery of this project , we acquired this small firm. This grew our number of employees to 220. We continued to deliver projects that turn our clients' vision into a reality across the continent. More recently we have opened offices in Asia, prior to designing and completing our first residential buildings there.
