KdA Values...

People

We design with a people-first philosophy; buildings are for their service and purpose.

Projects

We seek projects that expand our creativity, demanding thoughtful, imaginative responses.

Place

We understand architecture is about place making—intentionally connecting people to one another and to their environment. This gives buildings meaning.

Passion

We take our work seriously—but not necessarily ourselves—and revere the art of designing and the craft of building.

Proud Clients

We accept fewer—but higher quality—commissions so we can deliver exceptional work.
