Architecture reflects and shapes our time and culture. HKS is creating places that enhance the human experience. Our sporting event does not start when the first whistle blows. It is called ‘game day’ for a reason - a daylong or even a multiple day event. HKS creates an environment that enhances the game day experience from beginning to end.

3.0 > Revenue Based Design The HKS approach to stadium facility development pays particular attention to enhanced revenue generation increasing revenues through analysis of the spectator/ sponsorship base and by innovative product creation. Our initiative of ‘revenue based design’ begins with an in-depth study of city and regional demographics in order to define the spending capacity and financial characteristics of the supporter base, catchment area, and interested corporations. This is undertaken either by an in-house or external analyst group experienced in the economics of retail models, market tendencies, and the supply-and-demand performances of potential patrons. This analysis allows the Client to optimise and sculpt the product offerings and events within the stadium facility and surrounding precinct to a bespoke, realistic audience profile.
Left AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, US
Our design approach breaks from traditional venue design which applies ‘rule of thumb’ or conventional wisdom in making key design decisions. By analysing highly specific market demographic data we are able to precisely identify key strategic and design goals for your project. As a result, our venues are the right size, support the right calendar of events and contain the right inventory of fan experiences and environments.
4.0 > Sports Interiors HKS Sports Interiors is the world’s only dedicated sports interiors design group. The distinguishing feature of our approach is that we combine general programming, spatial organisation and semiotics to provide a rich hierarchy of patron choices which result in substantially increased profitability. Time and again clubs and operators are discovering that the integrated design approach of HKS unlocks enhanced revenues to the benefit of all.

5.0 > An Architecture of Place Expressing ‘Collective Identity’ Music, Food, Language, Poetry, Literature, Song, Dance, Clothes and Furnishings are just some of the essential ingredients that define a culture...... that imbue a people with a collective “identity”, a sense of belonging, and a sense of place. Architecture has a central role in this process – at once “shifting and shaping” space and informing space making through the varied agendas contingent on context. But “culture” and traditional identity are being increasingly challenged by the processes of globalisation, modern products of media and manufacturing are constantly eroding those visible aspects of “place” and “back-drop” that evoke the particular. The modern mass produced motor car, passenger planes and the hamburger: each in their way contribute to a process of cultural unification – as do corporate hotels and denim trousers. “There” as a concept in “place making” is lost to the point of becoming “everywhere”. Our Interpretation HKS are preoccupied with making “there” special and particular. Against that endeavour, we aim to challenge the processes of globalisation and, through our work, we seek to imbue our projects with a character that is relevant and to make an ‘architecture of
Left U.S. Bank Stadium, Minnesota, USA
place’ - an architecture that makes sense of the essential qualities of “there” responding to local climate, topography and culture. An architecture that utilizes local materials and engages local craft. Some aspects of “global” cannot, of course, be ignored. Our architecture also seeks to respond to new and expanding programmatic challenges of the stadium project. Our architecture responds to new agendas such as eco-sustainable design, but in all this we seek to respond in ways that are locally relevant and contemporary. For us, nothing can be more inappropriate and potentially inadequate than to transfer the architecture of “somewhere else” to a project. Our clients deserve and, indeed, will demand better. Our approach is therefore to reinforce the cultural identity of context, albeit we recognize that “identity” is dynamic rather than static, always evolving in response to the conditions that a place, in the widest sense of that term, responds. HKS will alway endevour to use our knowledge and skills to synthesize and enrich an architecture of integrity that generates local pride and commands external respect. An architecture that is so grounded in its response to its physical, cultural and social context that it would be, quite simply, meaningless anywhere else...
6.0 > EXPlore Brand Consulting and Strategy Our creative work is combined with the architectural offerings of HKS creating a solid platform of architectural and interior offerings woven with brand consulting and strategy. The message is clear and focused on the core objectives of both the client and the facility’s purpose.

HKS are leading the way into the digital realm, particularly in creating immersive digital experiences around Sports & Entertainment events. HKS has invested in significant ‘inhouse’ technological capability that allows us to create, control and deliver complete digital & media environments.
