As we usher in the new year, Hendrick, the Atlanta-based architecture and interior design firm, embarks on a celebratory journey marking its 50 years of creative excellence and innovation. The firm, revered for its architectural and design expertise, is set to dedicate 2024 to a series of client and staff celebrations. These events will not only pay homage to Hendrick's rich legacy but also shine a spotlight on its remarkable team and their contributions, while looking ahead to a future filled with more pioneering achievements.

Founded in 1974 by the visionary Bill Hendrick, the firm has flourished under the guidance of service-driven leaders such as Marsha Cook and Jim Ferguson, and now, under the leadership of Jennifer Treter and Chris Heard, it continues to redefine design excellence. As a Minority Business Enterprise, Hendrick stands as a beacon of progress and innovation in the industry.

Over the past five decades, Hendrick has remained a stalwart in the realm of design, evolving from a small team in the 1970s to a diverse culture of over 30 professionals today. The firm is synonymous with creating spaces that not only inspire but also stand the test of time, thanks to its human-centric design approach and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. With a service expansion that included full architectural services in 2020, Hendrick has consistently elevated its offerings to meet and exceed client expectations.

Chris Heard, Co-Owner and Managing Principal, reflects on this journey with gratitude: “Our success is a testament to the founders' visionary leadership and the collective efforts of our incredible team, clients, and partners. Together, we've crafted spaces that not only tell a story but also make a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.”

As Hendrick commemorates this significant milestone, its leadership team extends heartfelt thanks to its business partners and dedicated staff, acknowledging their pivotal role in the firm’s enduring success. This journey, characterized by collaboration, creativity, and a shared passion for enhancing the human experience through design, is a source of immense pride for the company.

As we celebrate this achievement, we eagerly anticipate continuing our legacy of designing inspiring spaces. We are excited about the upcoming projects that will strengthen our existing relationships and forge new ones. The future is bright for Hendrick.”

In honor of this milestone, Hendrick has planned a series of events throughout the year, including special celebrations, client appreciation initiatives, and community outreach programs.
