Henriquez Partners Architects Information

Guided by the optimistic belief that architecture has the potential to be an expression of social justice, we seek out projects that require complex rezoning, allowing us to actively lobby for densification to balance the necessary transfer of equity towards socially valuable objectives. These projects give us the opportunity to re-envision, challenge convention, and harmonize competing interests to create beautiful, sustainable communities where all citizens may participate and thrive. With studios in Vancouver and Toronto, we are a collaborative, diverse and talented team of 60 individuals from over 25 countries. Our supportive, dynamic studio culture has garnered us recent recognition as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, and we have been named one of Canada’s Best Employers for Recent Graduates for the last 4 years. We engage in dialogue on meaningful issues and share ideas, which shape our work and the daily life of our studio. Our culture is one of exploration – a living lab where research, design and technology come together. Recognized as a “Design Firm to Watch” on Architizer’s A+ list, we have gathered our collective knowledge and learning into 7 publications, and we were honoured to exhibit GHETTO – which proposes a unique approach to refugee housing – at the 2021 ECC Venice Biennale.
