SDK is an award-winning architectural firm built on the collaborative process of our youthful designers and seasoned staff. The ability to mentor and empower one another to improve team members’ skills individually as well as a team is what drives us. The studio atmosphere of our office enables free thinking and ideas to pass openly throughout the design process and allows every member of our team to participate and contribute during project development.
Our passion is to create distinct and valuable architecture by producing new interpretations of traditional styles and provide captivating designs that extend across a wide spectrum of markets. We believe in the extraordinary capability design has in influencing the quality of our lives and we strive to inspire people to discover why it matters.

Planning
The core principle of community development is inspired by incorporating the existing city, village, and town municipalities. Blending our practices of architecture, planning, and urban design we challenge the demand for functional and aesthetic qualities essential in both physical environment and economic realities.

Architecture
At SDK, we believe that world-class architectural design and building performance are fundamentally connected. Our contemporary approach to present-day design acknowledges that performance is driven by seamless coordination. By prioritizing coherence in design strategies, inventiveness, and determination we empower our team to use ingenuity and inventiveness to ensure our projects lead through cutting-edge design.

Colors & Materials
Color is considered as a fundamental factor of our environment, hence the goals of color design in an architectural space are not adjusted to aesthetic alone. At SDK, we offer a wide range of consultation services with options to suit every project type. Our team of highly inspired designers consider all specifications and colors, materials, and finishes that will impact the color overall color story.

Rendering
By fusing innovativeness and genuine enthusiasm for architecture, we allow clients to immerse into a three-dimensional visualization of their projects. With our digital rendering services, we focus on outputting high quality photorealistic conceptual designs, more than often before the actual commencement of the project.
