In 2019 Dr Thomas Henriksen founded Henriksen Studio with a desire to build a company that would focus on working at the forefront of sustainable building design, helping create a roadmap for a carbon neutral society in 2050. Since its inception, Thomas has built an exceptional team, each of whom are committed to bringing imagination and determination to every project, ensuring the most appropriate and achievable design solution is presented to clients for new and existing buildings.
