Marc Delaney

Marc grew up on a construction site; the impetus: an ambitious father with a dream of building a home for his family. Surrounded continuously by little projects, Marc developed skills of construction, boundless curiosity, an eye for detailing, and a knack for problem-solving while assisting with the ever-evolving venture that was his childhood home.

This kinesthetic, spatial, creative, and investigative upbringing taught Marc the impact one person can have on their immediate environment and started formalizing the lens in which he approached different educational pursuits. His time at Middlebury College and his involvement with a student-led initiative to build a 100% solar-powered home not only confirmed his passion for building things but began his interest and education into the intersection between the built environment and the natural and the role the Architect plays: careful moderator between innovation, preservation, and sustainability.

Various professional experiences and inspiring mentors since has led Marc to work on projects ranging from new ground-up single-family and multi-family constructions in New England, the South, and the Bahamas; to wooden and masonry historical preservation projects in Vermont, Virginia, and New York; to affordable housing and community development research for the New York City Housing Authority; to a Passive House retrofit in Brooklyn with Henson’s own Jane Sanders.
