With regards to the notability flag: the article is referenced from and cites independent sources, including two articles from the Los Angeles Times, one of which is a profile of the company and the other about one of the principals of the company being named a fellow by the American Institute of Architects, in addition to another article by the San Diego Union-Tribune. However, the firm also designed Qualcomm Stadium, a major landmark in a major city (San Diego), and the structure has received two AIA awards. There were also two instances in which the Frank L. Hope & Associates was mentioned, independently, in other articles: Qualcomm Stadium and the Timken Museum of Art‎.

In addition, the firm was identified as the oldest architectural firm in San Diego at one point by the LA Times.^[1]

With that being said, please tell me how to improve the article for Frank L. Hope & Associates. So far as I can tell, its national media coverage, its place in designing a major landmark where a professional football team called home and the AIA associated with the company should meet notability requirements of WP:COMPANY, especially in light of many other Wikipedia articles about other architectural firms that do not have any AIA awards associated with them, nor have they designed recognizable landmarks like Qualcomm Stadium or the depth of coverage from national news outlets like the LA Times.
