hc.A. The architecture and interior design studio was based in Florida focused on creating spaces that are meaningful, long lasting and characterized by their relationship with nature. To achieve this, founders Peter Sprowls and Nic Rabinowitz use their fascination with the sun, programmatic invention, and historical precedent to develop highly custom projects for their contemporary habits of living. While their projects are not limited to Florida, it is the rich, natural beauty of the state that motivates hc.A’s work across architecture, interior design and public space design.
Peter Sprowls is a founder and Principal of hc.A, Instructional Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Florida School of Architecture and Director of the Vicenza Institute of Architecture in Vicenza, Italy. After graduating from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Peter worked in Boston for Nader Tehrani (NADAAA) and later for Elizabeth Whittaker (Merge Architects) before returning to his home state of Florida to teach and begin hc.A with his long-time friend Nic Rabinowitz.
