PURPOSE
We produce exceptional design. Our culture celebrates design excellence and innovation.
We believe architecture can impart a sense of joy and optimism to life. Our work is an offering to that vitality where the lives of others might be touched by the spaces and forms we shape.
We believe buildings that are loved and endure, matter.HANBURY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We recognize the power of architecture in human interactions and measure a project’s success by its impact on users, the community, and context. As Hanbury has evolved, we’ve concentrated our design focus on several areas that best serve this potential: higher education, science & technology, and civic/community — all with a commitment to the highest and best use of resources and a long-range view of environmental impact.
PEOPLE
Our people are undeniably our most valuable resource. Our collective promise lies in celebrating the potential of each individual, while embracing strategic optimism and inventing our future by growing a firm of choice by design. Hanbury encourages systematic mentoring through the project process and sponsors tailored initiatives through Hanbury Performance Coaching and professional development through Hanbury Academy — the growth of each individual and the growth of the firm are inextricably connected, so too are the benefits of each.
Our work is strengthened through fostering an inclusive environment where underrepresented voices are sought, included, and valued. We seek to empower all voices through active listening, thoughtful engagement, and holistic design solutions. Design excellence requires shaping and leading a firm that cares for the world in which we seek to live. Our successful future depends on transparent actionable change guided by knowledgeable voices.
OUR LEGACY
A hallmark of life at Hanbury is participation in our Legacy Programs, these three distinctive programs contribute greatly to our vision of practicing as a ‘living company’ in which our commitment to lifelong learning and continual renewal will inspire the members of our firm, our work and our bright future.
