Abstract: Jonathan Hendry Architects is an award winning, chartered practice based on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with a reputation for making architecture that is well crafted, with simple forms that have a strong sense of materiality with subtle complexities. The work is developed through a rigorous process of investigating urban and historical context, economic and social history, landscape characteristics and geographical significance. The practice has designed a wide-ranging body of work covering many aspects of the built environment – focusing on creating buildings that relate to a ‘Place’ through a process of observation and the re-working of the existing site. Biography: Jonathan Hendry has worked for Allies and Morrison and Jamie Fobert Architects, before establishing Jonathan Hendry Architects in 2000. His award winning chartered practice prides itself on producing high quality architecture in a wide variety of genres including public buildings, private dwellings, commercial buildings and furniture design. Jonathan was a RIBA regional awards judge in 2008 and also wrote a regular column in the Architects Journal from 2007-08. In 2011 he won the annual Young Architect of the Year Award.
