Archello Podcast
Simon Henley on how good architecture should respond to timeless questions
In this episode Archello is in Shoreditch, East London with Simon Henley who is Principal of Henley Halebrown, the office he co-founded in 1995. The buildings realized by Simon’s practice engage with their surroundings and prioritize environmental responsibility.
There is clear a commitment both to craftsmanship and community engagement in the projects, which range from housing to offices but all which share a special focus on social spaces. Henley Halebrown’s projects are well recognized and have been honored with the Neave Brown Award for Housing and twice been shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize.
Listen as Simon speaks about starting his practice in the 1990s, his work on adaptive reuse projects, and the importance of community in architecture.
