Firm Achievement Award

Established in Lansing by Ken Fishbeck in 1956, FTC&H has seen consistent growth during our 52-year history, going from a one man firm to a team of over 340 people. What started with one Michigan office, now includes four regional offices in Michigan and one in Ohio. Services offered to our clients have grown to include comprehensive architecture; interior design; structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental engineering; and construction management.

We have a firm-wide focus to work in a synergistic, mutually respectful, collaborative way, and to tap the talents of each individual to benefit our clients and each other. We strive to increase the quality and value of our services through our collaborative approach to make us the design professionals of choice in our target market.
FTC&H staff take pride in their community. Each year staff are involved in a variety of community, educational, philanthropic, and grant programs. Put simply, our staff live, work, and participate in our surrounding community and take personal responsibility for helping our community thrive.

As a firm, we realize the client is the most important participant in any project. For a project to be successful, no matter how great the design, the client’s goals and needs must be met. We offer our clients the opportunity to share in a great experience and take part in a collaborative effort. For them, a successful project confirms their selection of FTC&H.

Creativity and leadership in design has earned FTC&H the respect of clients across the country. Our project types vary widely, but common to all are the principles of design and problem solving, which ultimately serve our clients and work to improve the built environment.
We believe the architecture profession has the capacity and responsibility to advance public understanding of the positive role design excellence plays in our society and the lives of its citizens. Architecture can delight the senses, inspire and challenge thought, and create awareness of our resources by promoting a better understanding of the interaction between the natural environment, buildings, and our society.
