We believe that good design adds value.
From the future sale of a one-bedroom apartment to a multifamily mix-use development, k—da works to maximize returns for projects of any scale.
A Strategically Aligned Partner
We are a partner to developers who believe that good design is a key element to project success. We understand the market and provide vital information and design services during the entire life-cycle of a project. We work to analyze potential acquisitions, work with lending authorities on feasibility, and develop schematics and pre-design packages for funding and procurement. k-da is then equipped to seamlessly transition into the design and construction phases either as the primary architect, strategic partner, or as project manager/owner’s representatives.
Site Analysis
k—da works with developers at any stage of the development process. In the early stages, we can determine possible property assemblages and available air rights to maximize a site’s buildable potential. We can game out different development scenarios to determine the most value the site can offer. We also can assemble micro-climate analysis, including solar exposure, shadowing, and flood potential studies, as well as market maps, including walkability scores and proximity to favorable disfavorable entities.</p>
Zoning
k—da will work with local code experts to do a full zoning analysis to fully uncover all the potential value of your site. We will determine all the limiting factors and put together various developmental options for development.
Programming
k—da can work with developers to establish and refine the programming for your project. We will work with you to understand spatial and adjacency requirements and analyze these against the zoning envelope to work on how the pieces of your project come together.</p>
Schematic Design Analysis
k—da can work quickly to produce a schematic design package. We work with the client’s programming needs and budget estimate to start examining plans, elevations, and sections in more detail.
Visualizations
k—da can work with you to produce high-quality visualizations for your project at a variety of price points. Whether you need massing studies for internal review, presentation plans for investors, or top-quality photorealistic renderings for marketing material, k—da, can assemble the right team at the right price for your job.
