Founded in 1996, Richärd | Kennedy Architects is an integrated architecture, interior design, and planning firm. Our philosophy is built on the premise that architecture can act as a catalyst for change; positively affecting both people and the environment. 

Over nearly thirty years, we have collaborated with clients around the world to design internationally recognized, award-winning buildings that continue to have a lasting impact on clients, communities, and the people who are at the heart of each project. 

Based in the desert southwest of Arizona, we are attuned to the sensitive balance between architecture and the natural environment. Our portfolio features public and private institution projects, including work for civic, libraries, higher education, academic research laboratories, and commercial clients.  

Our studio-based team is united by a shared belief that great architecture is transformative. Responsibility guides our approach, which is predicated on the belief that sustainable design permeates every level of work, from site to landscape, building envelope, building systems, interior spaces, and furnishings. Guided by empathy and a strong sense of curiosity, we seek out innovative ways to address the most critical challenges of our time; delivering resilient and timeless designs that blend artistry with functionality.
