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.

NEWS: University of Virginia to Construct Karsh Institute of Democracy -- TheUniversity of Virginia is planning to begin construction in fall of 2024 on the $100 million Karsh Institute of Democracy in Charlottesville. Designed by Höweler + Yoon with Hanbury as architect of record, the 69,320-sf facility will offer an ecosystem of spaces for the exploration and enhancement of democratic culture, laws, and institutions. The four-story structure will include a welcoming lobby with a spiral staircase where all members of the university community can gather and interact. Featuring a 425-seat auditorium that can globally broadcast in-person events, the building will also provide classrooms, research venues, meeting rooms, offices, and a media production suite. The Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy will occupy approximately 17,500 sf in the development, which will be linked by a green corridor to the School of Data Science, which is currently under construction. The highly sustainable project is targeting LEED Platinum certification. Completion is expected in fall of 2026. https://lnkd.in/e3TAjczu #Collaboration #EnergyUseReduction #Sustainability #HigherEducation

Atlantic Park, the highly anticipated mixed-use development reshaping the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, has reached a significant construction milestone with the "bottoming out" of its centerpiece surf lagoon. Unlike traditional “topping out” ceremonies, where the tallest structural element is placed, this event marked the completion of the lagoon’s foundational structure. Hanbury joined Venture Realty Group, W. M. Jordan Company, design partners, and community members to celebrate this exciting moment in the project’s development.

As we approach a new academic year, we invite you to learn more about the Karsh Institute of Democracy (Karsh IOD) at the University of Virginia (UVA), the first Design for Freedom University Pilot Project! The new building will be home to the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy, envisioned as a vibrant, continually active place. It will also be the new facilities for UVA’s Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, ensuring cross-pollination of ideas and initiatives. The eastern façade of the structure features a subtle curve that both signals the main entrance and acts as a beacon to the rest of the site. The building is anchored by large, carved cornerstones that visually ground the building and share in the curve of the façade. Set for completion in 2026, the project team includes Working Group Member Höweler+Yoon Architecture, LLP, Hanbury, and Hourigan. Deep dive into this and other new and completed Design for Freedom Pilot Projects, each a tangible representation of the Design for Freedom Principles and display of a more humane built environment: https://lnkd.in/e59ipkQ8

Did you know that hyperlocal research is a cornerstone of our Summer Scholar program? From Virginia to Michigan, scholars across our offices spent the summer immersed in their communities, conducting extensive site analyses and developing solutions to critical contemporary issues facing the built environment. Through community engagement and focused research, they created impactful design interventions that reflect Hanbury’s commitment to inclusive, community-centered architecture. Thank you to this year's scholars for their inspiring contributions! Explore the full recap of their research projects here: https://rb.gy/7a4q0i

Collaboration is key to success in complex projects, especially when striving for ambitious sustainability goals within tight timelines. Project owners looking for the highest performing, resilient buildings should consider collaborative delivery like design-build to make their visions come to life. This approach yielded great results on United Therapeutics' Phase 5 cGMP Warehouse in Research Triangle Park, NC. This cGMP pharmaceutical logistics facility deployed design-build delivery and a high-performing team to achieve bar-raising sustainability goals, reaching completion in 30 months.
