Our work is defined by a specific architectural point of view rather than an imposed style. Our design ethos centers around materiality and place, resulting in spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and comfortable—tailored to our client’s aspirations. KDC brings decades of experience in the field and environmental leadership to create a diverse range of projects. Throughout the process, we apply state-of-the-art building science and technology to thoughtfully design structures. Ever mindful of the talented builders and craftspeople we work with, we take pride in our collaborations, from the initial design conception through construction.

Designing homes with a specific architectural point of view

They worked with me on the design and selection of every material, implementing all aspects of the job in ways that I didn’t expect. I was impressed and relieved to have professionals of their caliber worrying about every item so I didn’t have to. I could not be happier with the job they did.

Our clients share our values

We create timeless and sustainable architecture with a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. We value clients who, like us, recognize the beauty of the region and enjoy connecting with the landscape.

Connecting with the outdoors

Clarity in design

Good design results from clear intent. Design goals can be achieved with a few well considered moves. We work towards uncomplicated solutions that address spatial organization and aesthetic considerations.

Boutique service

We approach every project as a forever home. We value our client focus, accessibility, and attentiveness over the number of projects in the studio.

Practicality and functionallity

A place for everything. Our design solutions reconcile a certain spare beauty with the varied necessities and intrusions of everyday life.

Sustainability

Reducing a project’s environmental impact and the financial cost of maintenance is always a priority. We are Certified Passive House Designer and LEED Accredited. We guide our clients toward good stewardship of the land. More often than not our projects include renewable energy systems.

Embracing the local

We are deeply rooted in our community. Our clients share our appreciation of the quality, simplicity, and the beauty of local resources. We love that our conversations range from comparing our foraging at favorite farm stands to our close collaborations with local builders and craftspeople.
