Office-DFK

About

Office DFK engages in the practices of architecture, design, and research. We have offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City.

Office DFK provides solutions to contemporary architectural, urban

and design issues. We strive for a research-based and collaborative

design method which involves clients and experts from a wide range

of fields from the very beginning stages of our creative process.

Innovation for the sake of innovation rings hollow. Our process strives

to understand—through research—the social, environmental, and

cultural contexts that surround each project while seeking for the

most appropriate solutions. In turn, all decisions are evaluated, tested,

and optimized in relation to the stated problems of the client brief.

Outcomes in architecture are determined by the satisfaction of the

client, culture, critics and history, as well as the environment,

landscape, and community in which the architecture resides. Each

project is unique and is most compelling when it manages to resolve

these competing and contrasting interests into a concept reflecting

pieces of the greater whole. We strive to assist a collaborative voice

rather than dictate specific results.
