residential architecture & renovation
Sensitive restoration, spatial reconfiguration, additions, and new residential construction.
kYd has been recognized for its thoughtful designs, attention to detail, and emphasis on fine craftsmanship. We are proud to be recognized as a regional expert on the preservation and sensitive renovation of significant midcentury modern architecture, and we have been privileged to work within the context of buildings by Louis Kahn, I.M. Pei, Vincent Kling, and Oskar Stonorov. Yet we are equally proud of our ability to work within the context – and confines – of urban row houses, condominiums, and suburban homes. We’re adept at reorganizing and maximizing space to achieve open, light-filled environments in even the smallest footprints.
We’re known for our classic modern architecture and interior design, but we never impose on our clients’ preferences. Our collaborative process engages every client, and we work best with those who want to participate, explore, and imagine together. We listen carefully to capture individual style in unexpected ways. We’ll always seek the right solutions that blend beauty with function, luxury with real life.
The kYd team offers the advantage of integrated architectural and interior design services, with expertise in custom cabinetry and millwork, high-level construction management, and respect for budget. Our visualization tools include detailed drawings, 3d models, and renderings to ensure our clients see and understand concepts every step of the way.
