Descriptiontext

Hord Coplan Macht (HCM) is a privately held architecture and design firm founded in 1977 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, with offices across seven US states (Colorado, DC Metro, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas). The firm provides integrated architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, planning, graphic design, and lab planning services, organized into more than a dozen sector-specific studios spanning healthcare, higher education, PK-12 education, housing and mixed-use developments, affordable housing, senior living, public safety, and landscape architecture.

HCM serves institutional and commercial clients on a project-based professional services model, generating revenue through design fees across the full project lifecycle from schematic design through construction administration. The firm employs between 251 and 500 professionals, with the April 2025 acquisition of Schradergroup adding 40 architects and expanding its Pennsylvania footprint and mission-critical vertical. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on portfolio-driven marketing through the corporate website, thought-leadership content (whitepapers, webinars, blog), industry recognition (notably the 2024 ASLA Council of Fellows election of senior landscape architect Om Khurjekar), and established relationships in the public and institutional sectors. The company is led by co-founders Lee Coplan (CEO) and Carol Macht (Co-Founder and Senior Principal), operates as a Maryland-incorporated corporation, and has filed periodic SEC exempt securities offerings consistent with partner or ownership transition activity rather than external growth capital.
