Director and Shareholder

Henning believes in an architecture that is forward-looking and optimistic, and understands the practice of architecture as a form of communication. He values the anecdotes and stories that arise out of the making of buildings as being almost as important as the buildings themselves, and recognises that architects create the backdrops for memories and little moments of history, and for mentorship and teaching through storytelling.

BEYOND THE DRAWING BOARD

To Understand Africa,
Is To Understand It
From The Ground Up

We don't just design buildings, we listen to the land, learn from local communities, and create spaces that honor both tradition and innovation. Our remote-first approach allows us to stay connected to projects across the continent while maintaining the close collaboration that defines our practice.
