Introducing Founding Partner, Shallyn Hendry!

Born and raised on Prince Edward Island, her work is rooted in a strong connection to place, community, and public life.

She holds a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Dalhousie University, along with a diploma in Engineering from the University of Prince Edward Island. Her early academic work explored social architecture and vernacular building traditions and she has carried that interest into her practice.

She was the lead architect for the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, a nationally recognized civic project and cultural hub, and has been a key figure in advancing off-site construction in Atlantic Canada, including leading the design of one of the largest volumetric modular housing projects in the country.

Shallyn is an active voice in the profession through lectures, advocacy, and research. Through her practice she continues to champion architecture as a tool for public good—bringing together design innovation, collaboration, and a deep respect for place.
