Michael Henry - Architect, PC is a small, regional design firm committed to excellence and responsiveness in selected project types.  We are small by choice, preferring a relaxed and spontaneous office climate to the bureaucratic structure of a larger corporation.  We are regional by choice, preferring to serve our neighbors in southeastern Virginia to a national or international market.  We are experienced in the project types you see represented on this web site, not trying to be all things to all clients.  Most of our projects are referred from prior clients, contractors or real estate professionals.  Regardless of how you found us, we look forward to discussing your next project.  If we can serve you responsively and excellently, we would love to work with you.  If not, we will gladly refer you to one of our friends in another excellent firm.
   
Our goal is to provide a good relationship, a unique design just for you and a thorough job of coordinating your project from start to finish.  We have many satisfied clients because we listened, took good notes and gave them what they asked for.  We provided multiple design options and kept the design exciting and at the same time buildable and economical.  We coordinated doors and windows with the furniture layout.  We created interesting spaces with lots of light, but kept the house functional and practical.  We provided a lot of house for the investment.  Our drawings and specifications were accurate and easy for the contractor to understand, so we prevented a lot of change orders during construction.  We have received lots of compliments on our plans from the contractors and the building inspectors.  Does that sound like the way you want the design, bidding and construction to be handled? We invite you to call and discuss your new home.
