Our Approach

At Henson Architecture, we're committed to advancing the field of preservation through a hands-on approach to craftsmanship and traditional building practices. In response to the global climate crisis and emerging technologies, we're transforming the practice of retrofitting existing and historic buildings as a means towards carbon reduction. Our award-winning architecture firm provides direct access to our principal, and dedicated service from our team of architects and project managers, many of whom have sustainability-driven credentials.
