​Henry Francis

Director

​Seductive and intelligent floor plans, refined details and the dramatic use of materials have become a hallmark of Henry's award winning studio since 2004. 

​

An RMIT University, scholarship prize winning graduate of both Architecture and Industrial Design, Henry's understanding of Architecture, Design and Interiors combine to create meaningful, expressive and elegant architectural and spatial experiences. 

His practice has evolved over 20 years to include the complete architectural, interior design and furnishing of country & coastal residences, equestrian stables, luxury apartments and Penthouse interiors.

​

Influenced by Henry's background and travel, his architectural residences and interiors are carefully curated with custom furniture, joinery, fittings and fixtures, interwoven art, decor and lighting that make all HFD projects unique.
