Rob Henry Architects

Rob Henry Architects is a Canberra practice specialising in small-scale contemporary residential architecture, which later rebranded as Studio Heim. Studio Heim has since merged with DNA Architects, where Rob Henry is now a director. The practice's focus is on architecture with an understanding of human scale that is both socially and environmentally sustainable, creating spatially rich environments that are evocative and playful yet practical and liveable, with each project tailored to its clients.

Rob Henry, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects, was awarded the 2014 ACT Emerging Architect of the Year Prize. He is a past president of the Institute's ACT Chapter and of the national Emerging Architects and Graduates Network, and lectures and tutors in design and sustainability at the University of Canberra.
