Focusing on the intersection of architecture, sustainability and people, Michael Hensley has led the design for a broad and diverse range of projects. He explores opportunities to create impactful designs based on the human experience and augmented through the integration of technology, sustainability, and, most recently, mass timber.

Additional mass timber experience includes designs for Austin Harbor, a mixed-use development in Austin, and the office component of the Greyhound development in downtown Denver.
