The studio
Architecture begins
with its setting.
KBHA brings architecture, construction, interiors, furnishings and landscape into one coordinated design and build practice.
A complete perspective
The site. The light.
The way a home is lived.
Founder Kevin B Howard’s Arizona roots inform a site-specific approach: topography, sun, native landscape and long views become part of the architecture rather than scenery around it.
The studio carries that thinking through construction, interiors, furnishings and landscape. Deep overhangs create shade. Glazing frames long views. Materials and openings give each home a particular relationship to its terrain.
