Larry Robbins House

Henson partnered with Studio Joseph Architects to carry out the renovation and expansion of the existing building, which included rerouting the existing egress, upgrading the building’s systems, and renovating the historic building envelope. The building earned LEED Gold Certification, and the design addressed accessibility, code compliance, and operational inefficiencies. Our goal was to ensure that the contemporary building addition would contrast with the existing fabric in the most respectful way.
