Company Profile
studio ksa builds on the creative foundation of Kohn Shnier architects, continuing the pursuit of inventive and thoughtful design. As a deliberately small practice, we strive for work that is practical yet imbued with invention and whimsy. The press has described our work as being timeless without being overly formal or trendy.

The studio has been widely recognized including nominations for the prestigious International Chrysler Design Award and the New York Architectural League’s Emerging Practice Award. Our projects appear in global compendiums such as The Phaidon Atlas of World Architecture and Architecture Now! Volume 2, and have been honoured with an inclusion in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York
