At Gilbert Place, Virginia Tech’s campus topography is translated into a sculptural surface wrapping the elevator lobby. Recognizable campus features, including the Drillfield and Duck Pond, bring the university’s identity into the building through form and texture.

The project’s custom graphics recently received an ASID VA Interior Design Excellence Award.

A former seminary in Durham, North Carolina, has been adapted as a Goodwill Industries’ headquarters. The interior renovation pairs an open, daylit workplace with spaces for community education, including a STEAM lab for hands-on learning and workforce development.

What if?

Originally slated for demolition, an abandoned auto shop in Abbeville, South Carolina, was reconsidered when research revealed its alignment with a historic path between the former railroad station and Town Square.

What began with a simple question through Hanbury’s Summer Scholar program became a new public passage and community asset.

Church Street Garage received the 2026 AIA ASPIRE Jury Award for Design Excellence.

Our design for the Virginia African American Cultural Center follows the framework of Co, Ed, Cu, representing community, education, and culture. The proposal considers how architecture can interpret cultural traditions through form and spatial experience.

The Drum, an elliptical gathering space informed by the djembe and the Liberian Palava hut, gives physical expression to this idea. Its circular form reflects traditions of communal gathering and oral storytelling, establishing a focal point from which the Center extends outward. The surrounding landscape creates further opportunities for community use.

The design received a 2026 AIA Virginia Design Award in the Unbuilt category.

It’s move-in season. Across campuses, students are unpacking boxes, meeting roommates, and settling into the places they’ll call home this year.

For students, it’s the start of a new experience. For universities, housing requires looking well beyond the year ahead, with a master plan that considers what students need from residential life today while guiding how the housing system develops over time.

We’re looking back at some of the residential communities we’ve helped shape, alongside five questions institutions should consider when planning for the future of campus housing. More at link in bio.

Hello, Chicago!

Hanbury’s ninth studio opens this month, formalizing more than a decade of Midwest work and giving us a permanent home in one of the country’s most important design cities.

Leading the studio is Andrew Balster, who joins as Principal, Design Strategy Director, and User Experience Market Leader.

Andrew has shaped Chicago design and design education for nearly two decades, most recently leading the Chicago office of an international design firm, and earlier as director of the Virginia Tech Chicago Studio, where he taught members of our own design leadership.
