Most of Hatshepsut's building projects were headed by two architects, Ineni (an aristocratic official who had worked under her father and her husband) and Senenmut. Hatshepsut and Senenmut shared a particularly close relationship; though Senenmut was of commoner birth, he quickly rose through the ranks to become her high steward and chief architect. He was also trusted with tutoring Neferure (they were often depicted in statues together, with him holding the child), and he personally supervised the quarrying and transport of the obelisks in Karnak. His closeness with Hatshepsut sparked much speculation--both in their time and with modern Egyptologists--that they were lovers, which was fueled further by the facts that Senenmut never married or had any children in his lifetime (his funeral rites were carried out by one of his brothers, rather than a son), and that his name and image were depicted in the Mortuary Temple (meaning that Hatshepsut allowed him to immortalize himself on her achievement).

Born the daughter of Thutmose I and his sister-wife Ahmose, Hatshepsut married her half-brother, Thutmose II, when they were both teenagers. She was Thutmose II's queen consort and Great Royal Wife when he became king after their father's death, and they had one child named Neferure. When Thutmose II died after a thirteen year reign, his son by a secondary wife named Iset, Thutmose III, was two years old and too young to rule.

Most of Hatshepsut's building projects were headed by two architects, Ineni (an aristocratic official who had worked under her father and her husband) and Senenmut. Hatshepsut and Senenmut shared a particularly close relationship; though Senenmut was of commoner birth, he quickly rose through the ranks to become her high steward and chief architect.
