KSS are client focused architects and designers with a reputation for individual design and personal service. We offer a range of skills including strategic master planning, architecture, interior design and graphics, and as each project is unique, can provide them individually or bring them together into a seamless package.
We are active across a range of sectors and specialise in high profile sports, education, residential and leisure projects. We work with clients in both private and public sectors, and are comfortable joining contractor teams within framework partnerships. Our expertise in sports venues often takes us overseas where we partner with local consultants to deliver the right solution for the locale.
Our approach to every project is based on the establishment of a clear brief driven by our client's values, aims and business plans, allied to a strong understanding of context and sound strategic planning. We work hard to understand the commercial constraints our clients work under, and bring value to the design process by thinking broadly how each opportunity can generate maximum benefit.
Although generally based on the use of modern materials and techniques, we don't limit our architecture to a preconceived style as we believe each project deserves fresh thinking and brings unique problems to solve. Our interior and graphic designers add an extra dimension to any project they are involved in, and are experienced in creating tailored interiors, environmental graphics, way finding signage and brand identities.
As the world changes, we recognise that the architect's traditional role is evolving beyond just designing buildings, and that clients need broader advice to help realise their ambitions. We therefore also provide a specialist consultancy service offering high level strategic advice, problem solving, design review and technical audit for funding agents.
We like to think we are team players in the design and procurement process, and believe in an open approach based on listening, understanding and exploration. We take our professional management responsibilities seriously, and our services are quality assured under ISO 9001:2008 and environmental policy certified under ISO 14001:2004.
