AOKT Studio is a full-service architecture and interior architecture firm. We approach our work with curiosity, compassion and rigor. We adore the particulars of each project and our relationship with each client. We make useful buildings and considerate places. Our hope for each one is that it can be a million times complete in its existence: to flex, to elevate, thrill, be co-conspirator, hold joy, harbor safety, preserve memories, enliven dreams, to function, to sing and inspire beauty.
