Henley Halebrown are multi-award-winning architects based in London, producing architecture that takes account of the way people actually use buildings and how they affect our sense of well-being. With insightful essays by founding director and architectural writer Simon Henley, this book highlights the critical thinking which is at the heart of their work.The book details twelve projects built between 2010 and 2022, mainly in the fields of housing, education and commercial space, and including both new builds and re-use. These projects are all infused with character that engenders affection in their users, as well promoting social interaction and striving for continuity rather than novelty. The buildings they produce are inherently flexible and able to accommodate changing functions. The practice’s approach to sustainability de-mystifies the technology, helping people to understand and participate in a building’s environmental performance.Each project is critically assessed by leading architects Tony Fretton, Pierre d’Avoine, Hugh Strange and Adam Khan, and critics Jay Merrick, Edwin Heathcote, Rob Wilson and Rosamund Diamond.
