Henry Architecture & Design serves clients with long-term operational and building performance needs, with a depth of design experience in healthcare, education, and community-use buildings. The studio is founded on a diverse portfolio of project types and more than two decades of design experience.

Our clients have included religious communities, school districts, municipalities, and retail owners - and for years we have worked closely in the healthcare market, designing patient-care environments in hospitals and outpatient settings. We believe quality architectural solutions emerge from strong client relationships, creative leadership, and attention to detail.

04 Practice Areas

Where we do our best work

Six disciplines, one studio - with deep experience in the buildings communities rely on every day.

01

Healthcare

Environments of care, oncology, diagnostics and imaging, and primary and specialty care - planned around patients and staff.

02

Community & Municipal

Transportation, courthouses, airports, and civic buildings that are bright, open, and genuinely public.

03

K-12 Education

Schools, athletics, libraries, and commons designed for how students actually learn and gather.

04

Commercial

Retail and workplace projects delivered with an eye on operations, performance, and budget.

05

Residential

Homes and studios designed to fit their site and their owners - including our own in Boalsburg.

06

Religious

Worship and gathering spaces for faith communities, balancing tradition with contemporary needs.

05 Approach

Good architecture is a relationship

Quality solutions emerge from trust, clear thinking, and care for the details that make a building work.

01

Client Relationships

We listen first and stay close to your operational and performance needs - as advocates for your vision from concept to occupancy.

02

Creative Leadership

We integrate decades of experience with new strategies in design and delivery, meeting new demands with adaptable, innovative thinking.

03

Attention to Detail

From code studies to the last finish, the details carry the design. We sweat them so the building performs for the long term.
