Michael Hennessey Architecture

Michael Hennessey Architecture is a San Francisco-based boutique architecture and design studio pursuing an architecture that inspires. Our practice is driven by a commitment to working with natural light and materials to create a simple yet striking backdrop for everyday life; we approach design with a sense of analytical clarity and a commitment to embracing each site’s specific climatic and environmental conditions. We see architecture as central to each client’s life, and aim to transform their aspirations into sensitively-built material form. Founded in 2009, Michael Hennessey Architecture has been nationally and internationally recognized for our ability to fuse the historical with contemporary while maintaining a direct and straightforward material palette. Our projects range from custom furniture pieces to ground-up multi-family residential buildings, and exists in both urban and rural settings. Founder Michael Hennessey earned his degree from UC Berkeley and is licensed in the state of California.
