With experience on over 100 historic buildings in and around New York City, we use a practical approach to preservation and restoration with a sensitivity to each structure’s past.
From design through completion, we integrate aesthetics, budget, and code considerations to revive old buildings and construct new ones that are both functional, beautiful, and sustainable.
Henson team members have been performing inspections for the city’s Facade Inspection & Safety Program since the first cycle in 1980-1982. We provide recommendation reports as well as city and government filing services for qualifying buildings across New York City.
Founded in 2003, we have completed thousands of preservation projects throughout the tri-state area as well as throughout the East Coast.
Henson Architecture advances the field of preservation through a hands-on approach to craftsmanship and traditional building practices as demonstrated in our award-winning, nationally recognized projects. In response to the global climate crisis and emerging technologies, Henson Architecture is 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 which have sustainability-driven credentials.
