LEADERSHIP
As a second-generation principal and owner since 2005, Hoppy has been a part of the firm throughout his entire life. He constantly strives to continue to build upon the core values that his father Chet Allred implemented, including: responsive service to our clients; a strong work ethic to providing the best possible design solutions; and an unwavering commitment to honesty and integrity in everything that we do.
Mr. Allred works closely with clients to develop a shared vision, as well as strategies for implementation to ensure that every project achieves its fullest potential. Hoppy has also led the firm’s sustainable design initiatives by providing energy-efficient solutions that meet the needs of each client, that also demonstrate a positive impact on building occupants, and reduce negative impacts on the environment. He served as the Architect-of-Record for the first publicly funded LEED Certified building in the State of Mississippi – Grand Bay Coastal Resources Center.
As a principal and owner of the firm, John is responsible for the firm’s collaborative design approach and provides a leadership role in developing both strategic, as well as, design solutions in the studio.
