Hank Koning and Julie Eizenberg have refocused architects’ attention on the value and design potential of socially responsible projects by demonstrating architectural excellence in the design of many tight budget affordable housing projects and community buildings. In turn their ability to achieve design excellence without pretension in other building types grew from this groundbreaking work. Their buildings might best be described as brilliantly sensible. They are comfortable environments where suggestion rather than statement is used to engage the viewer or user of the building.

In Koning Eizenberg’s buildings one is encouraged to discover space and architecture for oneself guided by compositional cues, landscape strategies, spacial sequence and scale change. The result is innovative architecture with a rare kind of humanism.
Many of the buildings have won multiple awards and have been published in architectural and general interest publications in the U.S. and abroad. The influence of Koning Eizenberg’s approach to design can also be measured by the numerous invited speaking engagements and teaching appointments at Universities around the world.
