The people you want on your side of the table.
A general-practice architecture firm with a deep specialty in aviation, run by two licensed architects with a firm preference for the honest version early. Same people, same way of working, new name on the door.
Two architects, one office dog.
Kevin founded the practice in 2009, as UDA Architects, and has led it ever since. He came up working across building types, commercial, workplace, civic, and institutional, and the habit that stuck is settling the fundamentals first: before a line is drawn he sits down with the owner to work through goals, site, budget, and the regulatory path. Most of the two decades since have centered on aviation, working with corporate flight departments, FBOs, manufacturers, and airport authorities on hangars and everything around them. He holds the office to one standard: a building should do its job well and be worth looking at. Cori shares his eye for how a building goes together, which is no small part of why they work well together.
Cori has been part of the practice since 2011 and has run projects of every size in that time, from a single-tenant office fit-out to a multimillion-dollar development. Before architecture she worked at a high-end interior design firm, then led volunteer crews building houses with Habitat for Humanity, so she knows how a finished space should feel and how it gets built. She has earned a name for getting owners, engineers, and contractors pulling in the same direction. What she loves most is detailing: the interiors and the way a building goes together, down to the unglamorous parts that make it last. She keeps the honest version of the schedule on the table, and off the clock she is most reliably found with a movie on and a dog asleep nearby.
Full-time floor supervisor, part-time janitorial services, and the office's most reliable reminder to step away from the screen.
SPUNkn.Not a service. More of a working condition. The nerve, sense of humor, and follow-through it takes to stay with a project when the site turns up surprises, the constraints are unclear, and the answer isn't obvious yet.
