Holding the AIA National Firm Award, The Miller Hull Partnership in Point Loma has earned over 350 design-excellence honors since Peace Corps veterans David Miller and Robert Hull founded the practice in 1977 at its Harbor Drive studio. The San Diego studio earned Living Building Challenge Petal Certification — including Net Zero Energy — making it the first LBC 4.0-certified project in Southern California, and the firm's site-design process integrates landscape architecture from schematic phase onward through Spurlock Landscape Architects and other peninsula firms. Miller Hull's portfolio spans civic, mixed-use, multi-family, higher education, K-12, and public-safety buildings across the West Coast, with the San Diego studio led by principals who hold AIA Fellowship and LEED AP credentials. Construction-administration on Miller Hull's San Diego projects runs through general contractors such as Da General Contractors, with the firm maintaining low change-order rates through its integrated-delivery approach. The firm's top-tier project type is the Living Building Challenge-pursuing civic facility, where regenerative design, net-zero energy systems, and materials-transparency documentation run under a single architectural contract.
