What We Do

We create architecture that connects people to places.

Unlimited Capabilities

From the early stages of program development to construction completion, MKSD architects provides architectural and planning services to ensure successful building projects for our clients. Starting with schematic design, we collaborate with our clients to make certain that the project meets programmatic goals. We also develop highly detailed and realistic computer project renderings to ensure that our architectural building vision is aligned with our client’s vision. MKSD’s highly qualified staff produces complete and thorough construction documents that minimize questions and problems in the field during bidding and construction. Read more about our process.

Architecture

Our 20+ team of talented and dedicated problem solvers, who are engaged at all levels, recognize that architecture is the physical expression of collaboration between the owner and Design Team. Driven by passion, we practice architecture in the entire range of disciplines required to design and build beautifully executed, environmentally conscious spaces and buildings that elevate the client’s mission and exceed their expectations without exceeding their budgets.

Planning

MKSD collaborates with clients early on to identify key project goals. Our detail-oriented team sees itself as trusted advisors to help clients make critical decisions on everything from programming to site feasibility analysis and selection, as well as interior space planning and test fits. We provide 3D and rendered images to inspire and streamline future phases of design.

Interior Design

MKSD goes beyond aesthetics. Our interior designers, who are experts in material uses, collaborate with the entire team at the start of every project to begin thinking about how people will interact with the built environment. We synthesize big ideas and thoughtful analysis to craft a space that ultimately enhances the lives of those in it.
