Each design is intentionally integrated into its unique social, environmental, cultural and functional context with quiet confidence and understated flair. Our multidisciplinary design expertise is supported by meticulous technical implementation and precise on-site administration capabilities. Our expertise spans multiple sectors, including commercial, residential, hospitality and leisure, retail, healthcare and education. Our strength as an award-winning design-led studio arises from a unique blend of creative talent, technical capability, implementation expertise and commercial strategy. dhk Architects was established in 1998 in a merger between Derick Henstra Architects and KCvR Architects.
