- Looney Ricks Kiss
In 1983, Looney Ricks Kiss Architects, Inc. was established with a commitment to client service and design excellence. From the beginning, the firm addressed the pragmatic aspects of programs, schedules, and budgets, while acknowledging the importance of culture, climate, and architectural traditions in the creative process.
Each project, whether large or small, was considered an integral part of its immediate setting, and a player in the larger context. Each reflected a reverence for the place.
Over the years, LRK grew and continued to invest in people, technology and resources, building upon their original values and vision. The firm’s multi-disciplinary approach and successful integration of planning, research, architecture, environmental, and interior design naturally evolved from a growing diversity of project types, ranging from private homes to corporate headquarters to town centers and urban planning.
