Before joining Rosewood, an ESBA inclusion hub, students whose anxiety presented challenges to attending school, some had spent long stretches unable to leave their homes. Today they attend school regularly, engage in learning, and are rebuilding connections with peers and staff.

Set within Prince William School in Oundle, Rosewood serves up to 48 students aged 11–16 experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). Across England, up to an estimated 5% of pupils miss out on education because of EBSA. Schools have design standards for mainstream and SEND classrooms, but any for EBSA are in their infancy.

The design treats the building as a transitional threshold between home and school:
➡️ A separate entrance and identity, so students can enter at their own comfort.
➡️ A domestic “living room” at the heart of the facility, with classrooms opening directly off it.
➡️ A movement room for physical and emotional self-regulation.
➡️ Classrooms designed to SEND space standards, the students have autonomy, and can bridge the gap between home and school with choice.
➡️ Acoustics designed to aid the transition, with classrooms designed to mainstream standards, but smaller spaces provide the enhanced acoustic of SEND requirements, so a future move into mainstream classrooms feels familiar, but there are also calm spaces to retreat.

HKS repurposed an existing block on the campus for East Midlands Academy Trust.

The newest building at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay was designed with the whole campus in mind.

The 22-story Bay Tower adds 227 independent living units in Virginia Beach, each with a balcony facing the beach and the bay. Its rooftop deck, open to residents across the campus, has a full-size pickleball court, a pool, fire pits, and outdoor dining. Add six dining venues, hydroponic growing spaces that bring fresh greens to the tower’s kitchen, and a new Pavilion over the sand, and a community that has served residents since 1980 gains a new center of gravity.

HKS provided architecture and interior architecture for the tower.

Some of us sketched the first StationSoccer field. Some of us are just getting started. All of us showed up for Holmes. ⚽

This week, H.E. Holmes StationSoccer opened in Atlanta, the newest field in the League of Stations, the world’s first transit soccer league. Underused land at MARTA stations becomes free youth soccer fields that kids can reach by train from across the city.

The league now reaches 5,000 kids. HKS developed the multi-site master plan through Citizen HKS, our pro bono practice, with Soccer in the Streets, MARTA, the City of Atlanta Government Department of City Planning, and Atlanta United Foundation.

Here’s to the next station.

In semi-arid Senegal, every rainstorm counts, so we designed a school that celebrates them.

Net Positive Senegal received a Jury Citation in the Unbuilt category at the AIA Dallas Design Awards.

Classrooms circle a storytelling theater in the round, a layout drawn from traditional Senegalese villages. When the rain comes, a thin-shell roof channels the water into its center, where students can watch it gather.

Wind chimneys modeled on termite mounds draw heat out of each room, keeping interiors about 15°C cooler than the air outside. Walls of compressed earth brick, made from local soil and agricultural waste, keep embodied carbon low.

Thank you to AIA Dallas and this year’s jury for recognizing this project.

Three HKS projects are being recognized in this year’s Architizer Vision Awards:

Project Rise — Finalist, Vision for Vertical Living
A speculative 2,000-meter vertical city that reinterprets courtyards, souks, and narrow passages for life in the sky.

Vilnius Congress Centre — Finalist, Vision for Localism
Conceived as a Lithuanian glacial boulder: a single civic form shaped by the Neris River and carved open for public life.

Al Wahda — Special Mention, Vision for Sustainability
A net-positive campus inspired by the desert’s dunes and winds, designed to send surplus energy and resources to the community around it.

Congratulations to our teams, and to every firm on this year’s shortlist.

Residents at Maravilla Scottsdale now have more ways to move and recharge: on-demand fitness in a new wellness suite, red light saunas, a juice bar, and a terrace already hosting yoga classes and juice tastings. A golf simulator and game lounge keep the course setting in play whatever the Arizona weather, and Fore, a new restaurant with a wood-fired pizza oven, adds a fresh option alongside the existing Ironwood Grill and bistro.

The expansion brings 115 independent living residences and 48 casitas to the TPC Scottsdale community, with spaces that give residents more ways to move, rest, eat, and gather.

HKS led interior design, FF&E, and the redesign of select amenity spaces.

Most spaces affect our mood by accident. These were designed to do it on purpose. This World Mental Health Day, we’re looking at projects built for pause and choice.

🧠 Travelers at Gerald R. Ford International Airport can visit a sensory room that offers four zones, from a lakeside respite space to a full boarding rehearsal. Users reported an average 59.7% drop in anxiety after their visit.

🧠 Students at Smithfield Elementary School discover and restore at their own comfort level, thanks to a sensory well-being hub and outdoor sensory path.

🧠 Patients at Texas Behavioral Health Center use sensory labs tailored with touch, sound, imagery, and movement, alongside art, music, horticulture, and play therapy. With 292 beds for adults and children, the hospital expands access to psychiatric care across North Texas. It was also recently honored as Highly Commended in the Mental Health Project category at the 15th World Congress for Design and Health.

🧠 At Rosewood, on the campus of Prince William School in Oundle, UK, a repurposed building feels more like home than school for students experiencing emotionally based school avoidance. Some students who couldn’t leave their bedrooms before joining now attend regularly.

🧠 Sensa is a neuroinclusive hotel concept that moves guests between high- and low-sensory spaces, with room to reset in between.

Good design creates room to breathe.

Singapore has a long tradition of giving heritage buildings new life, from the shophouses of Duxton Road to the bank buildings of the central business district. HKS's office in the city has now called both home.

The team started in 2016 as three people in a shophouse. After growing to 45, it moved into The Quadrant, the 1920s-era former Kwangtung Provincial Bank. Teak upcycled from old houses, recycled mechanical systems, bamboo, and rattan carry that reuse ethic inside, and murals by local artists run throughout.

Sliding doors and modular furniture let the 5,016-square-foot space reshape itself around the work, with zones for focus, collaboration, rest, socialization, and ideation shaped by HKS research on brain-healthy workplaces. The office is on track for Green Mark and WELL certification.

Cancer treatment asks a lot of patients' time. There are weeks of appointments, many specialists, and long drives between them.

Well-informed design that prioritizes patient experience can give some of that time back.

At one medical center in Madison, Wis., patients can see multiple specialists and complete tests or treatment in a single visit. Cancer care shares the building with dozens of other specialties.

At a facility in Miami, Fla., infusion bays line glass walls facing the campus lakes and gardens. Covered terraces let patients and families step outside without leaving the treatment floor.

The addition of a radiation oncology center in rural Jasper, Ga. has reduced travel for residents across five nearby counties, bringing essential daily care closer to home and delivering thousands of treatments within its first year.

These are three very different scales of care with the same aim: closing the distance between patients and the care they need.
