FitzGerald Associates Architects is one of Chicago's leading residential and commercial design firms. Our buildings combine striking variations on traditional styles with innovative uses of space to create architecture that functions well and conveys an enduring sense of place. Found throughout the city, our work reflects the vitality and vision that have characterized Chicago architecture for over a century.  Our buildings are distinguished by subtle yet fresh expressions of the indigenous styles that comprise the complex architectural heritage of the region.

The continuing success of our projects stems from our company's orientation: we believe it is essential to constantly consider how the building will function for those who will live, work, or shop there. The long history of our firm has taught us that in order to truly satisfy the client, we must deliver a building that appeals to its ultimate occupants.

Our complete projects include residential, hospitality, commercial and retail buildings of all types. Our experience covers a wide range, including new construction and land use planning, zoning work and feasibility studies and the renovation and re-use of vintage buildings and historic landmarks. The scope and variety of our projects demonstrate our ability to combine comprehensive planning and quality aesthetics into buildable designs that buyers, owners, and users will appreciate.

Creating superior buildings involves finding simultaneous solutions to many overlapping design problems: a challenge we welcome. At FitzGerald Associates Architects, we believe that a building that does not function well or that exceeds budget is a failure. That is why we work to keep the art and science of building in balance so that the structure we create will be successful in every aspect.

Our approach is comprehensive and site-specific. Each project is a unique response to its particular program and budget. We methodically exploit the potential of site, materials, and architectural design to produce the best attainable building. Our extensive experience with many building types ensures that we will be able to construct the building our client wants without "surprises".

FitzGerald Associates Architects has a proud tradition of more than eight decades. We have grown to encompass a broad range of skills with a staff whose practical, hands-on knowledge enables us to create plans tailored to fit specific needs and budgets. Our team-centered approach encourages an open dialogue leading to resourceful solutions.

Enthusiasm for what we do is shared at all levels throughout our office and guarantees the design and the focus that are essential when producing quality projects. Each of our buildings is carefully optimized to ensure that our clients receive the quality of construction they deserve at the cost they expect.
