SAR+ Since 2022

Henry Bestor, AIA, LEED AP BD+C

Architect | Associate

Henry knew from a young age what line of work he wanted to get into. His father would bring home postcards of cities’ downtown skylines whenever he travelled to a different city for work. Most nights Henry would stare at those postcards he hung above his bed, marveling at the elements like bridges, parks, and composition of towers that made up the skylines. Since that early age he never wavered in a passion for architecture and urban design, often hand drawing master plans of different neighborhood communities as a kid.

At Kansas State University, Henry received a master’s degree in architecture, In this final year of architectural education, Henry focused on urban theory and sustainable urbanism, developing a master plan of a closed-loop, net-zero energy community within the context of Manhattan, Kansas (the “Little Apple”). After graduation, he searched for a big city to start his career, one that was a vibrant and impactful regional city. Henry ended up in Chicago, which was a formative experience working on many adaptive reuse and historic preservation projects, including ‘Landmark’-status buildings such as the Virgin Hotel and Auditorium Theatre within Chicago’s ‘Loop’.

Henry joined SAR+ in 2022 and has continued to work primarily within the urban context. However, upon relocating to Denver, Henry has diversified the project types he has worked on, projects ranging from K-12 education, higher education, mass timber offices, as well as continuing to work on many projects in the hospitality and multifamily types. Henry has served teams in all phases of design and documentation from concept and entitlements to contract documents and administration. He is interested in the human experience of the built environment and strives to create spaces that connect with those who occupy them.
