core values.

LISTEN.

When we founded 10K Architecture we committed to establishing a client-focused firm, providing a high level of value and service. Only when we listen to and deliver on our client’s goals and needs can we enhance their daily lives through innovative, functional solutions. There is nothing more personal than your home or your business. To really understand your goals and priorities we need to get personal. We encourage a collaborative process, maintaining a constant dialogue with our clients to ensure their needs and objectives are met. Relationships are paramount to our approach to architecture. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our clients, design professionals, and contractors.

INNOVATE.

Technology is constantly changing. We are a research-based studio constantly exploring industry trends, construction techniques, sustainability, and technological advances. We are comfortable challenging traditional construction methods and materials, and we encourage a thoughtful, thorough process to ensure the best solutions are brought forward for every project.

COLLABORATE.

Construction is complex. It involves the expertise of many design professionals, tradespeople, and jurisdictions. We understand the importance of developing a collaborative, team-oriented atmosphere where all team members are working together towards a common goal. 

ADVOCATE.

Your welfare and interests are our priority. Construction can be intimidating and stressful. We stand by our clients from design through construction completion, ensuring the design objectives are met, value is maximized, and your investment is protected.

We are not about egos or awards. We find that if we put our clients first, and are diligent with process and execution the awards and accolades follow.

DELIVER.

We are strong believers that the difference between an average project and an excellent project is in the details. Yes, this requires more drawing, thought, and research - but it is worth it. We find that added detail during the design phases of the project greatly reduces confusion during construction that can result in change orders and delays in the project.

DO GOOD.

How we build today significantly impacts how we live tomorrow. As design professionals we approach every project aware of the impact our work has not only on our clients lives, but society and the environment as a whole. Through careful planning, site-responsive design, utilization of sustainable technology, and specifying environmentally sensitive materials we can make a difference.
