DKD Architects – is an architectural practice with a portfolio of award-winning and critically-acclaimed projects in the retail, commercial office, multi-family, single family, medical office buildings, industrial/warehouse and lifestyle mixed-use sectors. We are experienced in designing great buildings that are simple, sensitive to their context, robust and well-conceived. We pride ourselves in delivering a high quality service and value for money for our clients.
We provide clients with a creative design of effective and responsive solutions, as well as very strong technical, and quality control services. With a depth of over 35 years experience of working on a diverse range of projects, we offer expert analysis on buildings as they are used, allowing clients and users to maximize the potential of their environments.
Simplicity – We believe that simplicity lies at the heart of good design. Achieving simple architecture can be difficult as designers steer through a series of technical and organizational challenges. Nevertheless we place simplicity at the heart of everything we do, resulting in buildings that are easy to use and elegant in their appearance.
Integrity – Our ideas are informed by rigorous options analyses, lateral thinking and a clear focus on users. Once formed, we ensure those ideas remain the basis for every subsequent decision we make. This gives our buildings clarity, allowing them to be easily understood and enjoyed by
everyone who uses them.
Function – We always choose materials that are robust, appropriate and beautiful. We know that good architecture has spiritual, as well as physical elements, and we therefore aim to create experiences that go beyond superficial finish.
Sustainability – By placing durability and whole-life performance at the heart of our architecture, we create buildings that will last and reduce the need for environmentally harmful and unnecessary maintenance or remedial work.
Delivery – We bring our experience of complex procurement and contractual administration processes to provide excellent support to clients. We take pride in ensuring that all of our projects are resourced with direct senior management input together with an experienced, skilled and committed team.
