The original father and son firm of Hare & Hare, founded in 1910, built a national practice and played a significant role in the development of Kansas City, Missouri. The Hare's collaboration with George Kessler on Kansas City's Parks and Boulevards system and the original Country Club Plaza, along with their designs of residential communities within J.C. Nichols's Country Club District marked the firm as one of the most prestigious of the region. Hare & Hare also designed a number of projects in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Washington.

The Ochsner Hare & Hare team is dedicated to achieving a positive relationship between people and their environment, enriched through creativity, knowledge, passion, and the application of sound design methodology. Our professional staff continually teams with expert consultants, governmental agencies, institutions, business and social leaders, neighborhoods and individuals to ensure the most successful strategy for overcoming project challenges. Through this interactive process, we produce the most successful solutions and improve the quality of our built environment and our communities.
