We are a lean, hard-working studio that has fun while being serious about design. We remain closely involved with each client and their projects. While providing the expertise and capabilities of a large-scale design firm, we offer personalized service and a relationship that keep clients returning.
Our designs provide inviting, functional and enjoyable spaces for their users. “We cultivate environments for their inhabitants.” Same concept, but that’s not how we talk at HKM.
A client’s program and vision, the site’s character and surrounding context, the municipality’s desires and market dynamics are all considered and analyzed in the design process. Various options are explored, studied, critiqued, discarded and modified as the design morphs and evolves. Our team’s collaborative efforts create solutions that respect and enhance each project’s unique challenges and requirements. Gaining client and municipal approval with a successful design is a direct result of the collaborative process and integrated design approach.
Our focus on integrated design brings Architecture and Land Planning together at the beginning of the design process. Building and site work together in a single, unified solution. Our experience on a wide variety of project type and size allows us to integrate ideas and experiences across project types, providing dynamic solutions for every design.
