OFFICE INTERIORS EXPERIENCE
The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity. Glenn Gould
KPMB Architects, is one of North America’s leading architectural studios. It was founded in 1987 as a hybrid studio model, offering an alternative model to the sole practitioner or the large corporate firm. It is based on diversity, integrative design thinking, and intensive collaboration between architects, clients, engineers and experts. Regardless of scale, every project is conceived as a response to a client’s vision and the project context. Ultimately, the architecture of KPMB focuses on enriching the experiences of contemporary life, designing for the long term and city building, and creating spaces that catalyse interaction and community.
OFFICE INTERIORS EXPERIENCE
The diversity of projects and KPMB’s commitment to architectural excellence has attracted exceptional clients and projects across Canada, the United States and Europe. This includes work with many of North America’s leading institutions, including the Toronto International Film Festival, Canada’s National Ballet School, Goodman Theatre, Yale University, the University of Michigan and the University of Toronto. Currently, KPMB is designing projects for Princeton University, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Boston University, Lethbridge University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of British Columbia.
