The four principals who founded IN Architects & Planners, Inc. came together in 1988 to create IN Architects & Planners, Inc. We were the first professional tenant to move into and begin the remodeling and restoration of the Old Lake Courthouse located on the Courthouse Square in Crown Point, Indiana. The partners are:
  1. Tarik El-Naggar R.A., member A.I.A., President and Senior Architect: Registered - Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and NCARB
  2. Paul Reed R.A., Executive Vice President and Senior Architect: Registered - Indiana and NCARB
  3. Scott Goodwin R.A. and Project Architect: Registered - Indiana
  4. Sarah Polman S.E. and Project Designer

    5. Additional Staff:
  5. Jim Hurtubise, Project Architect
  6. drafting staff (as required)


Simply put, we trust our past and current clients' testimonials of our ability to provide them (the owner) with a design solution which blends their program needs with our Architectural vision. Above all, we respect the project's context in terms of scale and mass and we respond to the passion and needs of each client as well as the character and history of the site and its surroundings. Though our design solutions cannot be universally classified under any one particular style, all of our projects take their strength from history in order to afford a contemporary styling which is capable of future adaptation, flexibility and, we hope, preservation.
