Denning House
Contemporary Design Rooted in Academic Tradition
A Landmark Academic Space Defined by Transparency and Craft
Located on the Stanford University campus, Denning House serves as the home of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars, offering a thoughtfully designed environment for gathering, learning, and community. Designed by Ennead Architects LLP and constructed by Devcon Construction, Inc., the 18,000-square-foot building features Sierra Pacific Windows’ Architectural Wall System, paired with motorized awnings and commercial swinging doors. The expansive glazed façade creates a strong visual connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape, while warm wood detailing softens the modern form. Captured by Craig Cozart Photography, Denning House reflects a contemporary architectural vision grounded in purpose and place.
