WHY
Working with Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture is profitable for our clients. By raising the right questions we can identify the potential in every project. How can your company profile be enhanced? How can the floor area be optimized? How can architecture improve the productivity and wellbeing of the users?
HOW
Every project has its own story. It starts with a demand for change within a context. From this point of departure we narrate the process in collaboration with the client. In the end we aim to create functional and sustainable architecture with a poetic dimension.
SKILLS
Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture is a network based company. For every project competences from different fields are fused. The core is made up of the two founders and their skills in architecture and interior design. They are complimented with the financial and communicational competence of the board. The network also extends outside the company where we collaborate with specialists in the fields of sustainable development, visualization and engineering. This organization renders a highly flexible and creative environment.

Since Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture started we have strived for more knowledge and are always eager to break new boundaries in our field. Today we work with specialised programs and new methods to gain a better understanding of the built environment. Listed below we show a few examples of what we work with at the moment.
1. ENERGY BUILDING SIMULATIONS: With a various of advanced programs we now simulate the energy and effect efficiency of the buildings we design. Before we could only guess the output of well placed windows or better U-values in the roof, today we deliver those answers as we sketch.
2. RESEARCH BY WEB: Today with help from our web strategist we get important information and feedback on our early design stages from thousands of people. This help us improve and take valuable directions in our different design phases.
3. FROM 3D TO 4D: Complex surfaces and shapes could before only stay in the computer. Today we work with a special software that make it possible for us to easily turn it to a physical model.
