      The work of SmithKennedy has evolved from a process that is defined by inclusion, optimism and mutual respect. We listen intently and tend to entertain an impassioned dialogue on the virtues of good design, the merits of quality craftsmanship and why jazz is such a uniquely American art form.We strive to create buildings that respect the sanctity of place and respond carefully to local climate, culture and convention. We choose to acknowledge the intrinsic and unique characteristics of materials and seek to provide a cogent assemblage of details to reinforce this awareness.We relish the discerning placement of a window or doorway that will welcome the sunlight, capture a cool breeze or provide a view of the ongoing world around us.How our work may support or embellish the quality of our client's lives is what drives every decision. We envision the architecture we create to serve as a conscientious mark upon the land and as a guide to the notion of graceful inhabitation. Show less
