Clif McCormick
Architect
Clif says, “I go to bed at night looking forward to orange juice, granola, yogurt and work.” And his background shows a dedication to his craft: Clif graduated from GA Tech, studied abroad with La Villette in Paris, worked for DHW, built dotcoms on the west coast for a while, and moved to Chattanooga to work with H+K for four years. After a three year stint in New York, Clif came back to H+K and Chattanooga, and he’s been here ever since. Clif is a matchmaker: he breaks projects into tasks and pairs those tasks with the H+K colleagues who will love them and perform them best. He himself likes measuring existing buildings and dealing with any of the complex mathematical tasks. Clif reviews designs to ensure they meet national codes and standards, and also the standards of H+K. He also has an eye for design and takes the opportunity to pick up pen and pencil every now and again.
