Hanbury

Hello, new! Hanbury is excited to unveil a reimagined visual identity that embodies our journey and ethos. Our collaboration with?Base Design?has been a reflective exercise, distilling the essence of what makes Hanbury unique—where thoughtful, honest design meets the places we care about. Our refreshed visual identity reflects our evolution—simple yet robust. Conceptualized as a living gallery of?our projects, our process, and our people, it’s a celebration of where we’ve come from and a bold step into the future we are shaping. Through acting with empathy, planning adaptably, and designing holistically we deliver ideas with stretch. Welcome to the new Hanbury.

Hanbury was honored with two awards at the AIA North Carolina Design and Chapter Awards last Thursday, recognizing designs that exceed benchmarks for outstanding architectural design, structural composition, and application of design theory. A Merit Award winner, the Spark LS Leasing Center is an innovative reinterpretation of the traditional campus center—adaptable, mobile, and uniquely "floating" above the landscape to reflect its early transience before settling into a future greenspace. Hanbury also received the Outstanding Emerging Professional Friendly Firm Award, celebrating our commitment to fostering growth and opportunities for emerging professionals. Additionally, our own Kole Retterath, CDT won a Student Award for his project "Squeezed Out: Mapping Diverse Dimensions of Raleigh NC's Housing Crisis," conducted while at NC State.

There's something undeniably magical about the feel of a pencil gliding over paper. In a world where digital renderings and virtual reality often steal the spotlight, the timeless craft of hand drawing still holds a special place in our hearts—and in our studios. That tactile connection sparks the imagination in ways technology can't quite replicate. Our own Wesley Page, FAIA, ASAI, brings this art to life. Recently honored in the prestigious American Society of Architectural Illustrators Architecture in Perspective competition, he has amassed nearly four decades of illustrations that blend technical acuity with artistic storytelling, capturing the unique essence of every environment he portrays.

Happy (last day of) #EOMonth! Since our founding in 1979, Hanbury has prioritized a culture where every voice matters. Just over a year ago, we reaffirmed this commitment by transitioning to 100% employee ownership through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This change ensures that everyone truly has a seat at the table, integrating ownership at every level of our operations. At Hanbury, we are all stakeholders in our collective future, bringing our unique skills and perspectives as co-creators. You can learn more about the impact of the ESOP at Hanbury, here: https://lnkd.in/e5EA6tPn #employeeownership #ESOP #OneHanbury

Hanbury, in collaboration with Virginia Sea Grant, is now accepting applications for the Spring 2025 Research Fellowship—a program focused on designing for resilience and developing innovative solutions to address climate change impacts. The Fellowship provides opportunities for talented and curious individuals to explore nuanced questions and ideas about the future of our built environment. It looks to identify how the intersections of culture, society, natural environment, financial structures, and climate impacts play a role in our decisions as designers. Fellows will be selected to participate in a year-long research design project from January to December. They will work remotely during their fellowship but have the flexibility to work within our offices during their tenure. Interested in this opportunity?
