Heller Manus Architects
Heller Manus Architects[1] is a San Francisco, California-based architecture firm providing architectural and urban design for public and private sector clients. It was formed in 1984 by Jeffrey Heller, FAIA, president of the firm and member of the Green growth leaders Council, and Clark Manus, FAIA, CEO of the firm and the 2011 President of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The firm's portfolio includes high-rise commercial and residential, hotels, retail, civic, renovations, sustainability, academic/research, entertainment, transportation, and master planning projects throughout the United States and China.
In recent years, the firm has developed an international presence, particularly in China,[2] with a major urban design development in Guangzhou[3] and the design of the first LEED Gold (pre-certified) high rise office tower in Shanghai.[4]
