Much like human well-being, the essence of our work is found in balance — between richness and restraint, order and complexity.
Archikest was founded on the principle that architecture is the thoughtful synthesis of concepts, materials and their assembly. Our work is inspired by a commitment to research as a basis for the design process. This knowledge, embodied by form, structure and light, defines spaces that transform our daily experience and influence the way we live.
We design transformational places, plans and strategies that improve life. We leverage the heart, passion and intelligence of our more than 1,000 creative thinkers to develop solutions for the greatest challenges facing our clients and society. Whether designing for equity in education, accessible healthcare, inclusive communities, new scientific discoveries or the “next big idea” in business, we leverage our full suite of end-to-end services to help organizations and the people and communities they serve flourish.
