Who We Are

In 1995, Gerald Schwarz and Tod Hanson founded Schwarz Hanson Architects with a shared commitment to building a lasting architectural practice. The firm is well known for its broad scope of projects and abilities, its exceptional architectural design and unmatched customer service. Over the past 30 years, the firm has grown from that original partnership into a multidisciplinary practice with a diverse portfolio spanning commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, faith-based, hospitality, municipal, nonprofit, and other project types. Through three decades of growth and change, Gerry and Tod have established the foundation, reputation, and culture that continue to define Schwarz Hanson today.

As Schwarz Hanson enters its next chapter, Brad Naeher and John Pathak have joined Gerry and Tod as partners, bringing the next generation of leadership into the firm while carrying forward the legacy established by its founders. This transition positions Schwarz Hanson for continued growth while preserving the experience and values built over the past three decades. Our team of Registered Architects, Registered Interior Designers and Architectural Interns, collectively hold active licenses in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Illinois, North Carolina and Minnesota. Together, four partners and a talented team are building on 30 years of history while shaping what Schwarz Hanson will become in the decades ahead.
