“Few people realize how complicated it is to build—that is until they find themselves lost in the maze of design options, building codes, zoning laws, contractors, and so on. No two building projects are exactly alike, so there is no single, clear-cut path to follow.”

Architectural Design combines artistic sensibility, logistical problem solving and technological advancements with the capabilities of the construction industry. It is meant to lift the spirit of both user and casual observer, while at the same time respond to the economic and physical constraints associated with each project. KAUTTER & KELLEY ARCHITECTS endeavors to maintain a design aesthetic that incorporates current developments in contemporary design while respecting established architectural principles and the cultural context of each individual project.

Our Basic Services contract experience combined with Predesign Studies and Design/Build relationships gives us a thorough understanding of that which is expected of client, design professional, and construction industry interaction.

K&KA strives to bring consistent service to each project, regardless of its size or complexity and we understand the importance of the design/construction process and well-informed client interaction. Principals Michael Kautter and Steven Kelley accept project management responsibilities for all projects which insures accountability.

Prospective clients will find that we make every effort to lead them through “the maze of design options” to the successful execution of their desired architectural environment. The best of these projects maximize investment impact and concentrate funds where they are most appreciated.
