KGD is an Architectural, Interiors, and Planning firm based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area with additional offices in Boston and Thailand. Our integrated, creative process provides our clients with high quality, goal driven design which serves to enhance their business and culture. KGD’s commitment to quality has resulted in numerous design awards in recognition of design excellence and environmental stewardship. Our experience includes: corporate and commercial office, hospitality, mixed-use, multi-family residential, institutional, and sustainable design projects. It is our belief that good design brings real value to any project. Well thought out, appropriately tailored solutions result in successful spaces. A successful space or building is one that visually communicates the firm’s values, history and culture while enhancing the performance, purpose and function of the organization. Design should positively influence productivity, effectiveness and the overall sense of well-being. The built environment must meet the standards set forth today and remain an asset throughout its occupancy. Sustainability in its purest sense is about creating a designed environment that will stand up to the test of time, both functionally and aesthetically. In regards to “green” design, we are adept at determining the most appropriate response for each client in order to meet their goals and budget. Our ability to listen, comprehend and ask the right questions is proven. KGD does not have a singular design aesthetic. Design is not a style. Design is a process by which we discover who our clients are and how to convey that message, culture and image through the built environment. A matrix may tell us size, office standards and functions, but the process and our abilities will create a space or building that reflects the Client’s identity. Our team at KGD strives to provide the best possible service to our clients. To this end we form a dedicated team for each project. This team will follow the project from beginning to end. We utilize BIM (Building Information Modeling) as well as other powerful visualization tools for design decision-making. We are continually evolving innovative ways to integrate time-proven design methodologies with up-to-date technologies. Our comprehensive approach to project design allows for a client’s vision to be fully realized. |
