Founded by Allison Hennie, the studio draws on experience in architecture, local government, museums, public art programs, and community-based initiatives to help organizations and communities develop and implement thoughtful projects.

The practice works at the intersection of planning, design, institutions, and community. Projects often require coordinating diverse stakeholders, clarifying goals, developing strategies, navigating regulatory and institutional processes, and translating ideas into practical implementation. This work has included collaboration with public agencies, cultural institutions, community organizations, artists, architects, consultants, and other project partners.

Studio Hennie approaches each project by considering both the immediate opportunity and the larger systems in which it operates. Research, observation, dialogue, and analysis inform decision-making, while design and project management provide a path toward implementation. This approach allows the studio to connect community priorities, institutional objectives, technical requirements, and long-term stewardship.

Areas of practice include:

• Civic and community planning

• Urban design and the built environment

• Public art and cultural projects

• Community engagement and collaborative processes

• Institutional and strategic planning

• Exhibitions and museums

• Design research and documentation

• Project development and implementation

The studio values thoughtful stewardship, collaboration, practical problem-solving, and responsible project development. Whether working with a public agency, community organization, cultural institution, or project team, Studio Hennie seeks to build shared understanding and move complex ideas toward achievable outcomes.

Studio Hennie is based in Cleveland, Ohio.
