Baranski Hammer Moretta and Sheehy

---

Baranski Hammer Moretta & Sheehy (BHMS) was founded as Baranski Hammer & Associates in 1991 in Galena, Illinois, focusing primarily on historic preservation and custom residential work. The number of services offered grew based on demand by local and regional businesses and civic organizations.

Baranski Hammer acquired the thirty-year old firm of Moretta & Sheehy Architects in December of 2006. Moretta & Sheehy’s vast resume of institutional and commercial work along with Baranski Hammer’s broad experience gives the firm the resources to provide expanded services to clients both large and small.

BHMS’s primary strength is the creativity, talent and diversity of its employees. Each brings his or her own special set of skills to a project, either as designer or technician, that is essential to the success of our client’s buildings.

Baranski Hammer Moretta & Sheehy’s design and business philosophy is centered on client service. Each client’s goals are considered paramount, and the design process is focused on creating environments that embrace those goals.

BHMS is dedicated to cultivating the collaborative working relationships necessary for the success of each project.

BHMS utilizes the latest three-dimensional design and presentation software tools. This strengthens the firm’s ability to quickly convey design ideas to clients in a three-dimensional environment. The benefit to clients is the ability for them to see and better understand their project in a virtual environment, giving them the opportunity to more effectively participate in decisions that have spatial ramifications.
