KTGY
KTGY is a national design firm working across four service lines: architecture, interior design, branded environments and urban design. Its subject is how people live, so the portfolio centers on residential and mixed-use buildings and the neighborhoods around them.
A project can run from ground-up residential architecture through interiors and brand storytelling for the finished development, with urban design used earlier to set the framework that later buildings fill. A separate Research and Development studio works on concepts outside live commissions, including residential adaptive reuse of high-rise office buildings.
The firm works from seven offices - Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Irvine, Los Angeles, Oakland and Washington, D.C. - pairing national practice with regional knowledge on each commission. It says it has been shaping the built environment with its partners for more than 30 years, and runs a hybrid schedule with an alternative work week for staff.
Fees are set per project and the site publishes no rates, licence registrations or staff numbers. The Chicago address differs between the offices page and the contact page, so confirm the current location before sending anything.
