About HVN
HVN 30 years of excellence

HVN Architects has called Montagu “home” since September 1992. The ‘HVN’ stands for Henry van Nieuwenhuizen, who is the founder and principal of HVN Architects. With 30 years experience and scores of buildings later, this office has done ample projects of almost every building type you can think of. As technology improves, so too does HVN Architects improve: From drawing by hand as a small one-man-band office, to a modest studio of 5. What a journey it has been! Here’s to our continued success.
