About the Practice
About
Whether you’re looking to design a brand new home or breathe new life into your existing residence KLPOA is ready to be your architect. Working with KLPOA ensures a smooth process, an elevated, wellness-centered design, and a result that surpasses expectations.
The Practice is based in the Washington DC area, designing projects throughout the region, and we delight in unique projects with passionate clients who share our interests in wellness-focused design.
Indeed, at KLPOA architecture is understood as a practice; a field of continuous inquiry and refinement. This inquiry doesn’t end with a correct or definitive answer, but is continuously refined and updated through exploration within various media and projects and through its language reveals Truth, Goodness, and Beauty to the world.
Designing for Health and Wellness
As one of the few architecture firms in the DMV region founded and led by a WELL Accredited Principal, health and wellness is at the core of what KLPOA does. Every project benefits from our expertise and leadership in healthy building practices.
It is an unfortunate reality that despite every attempt at maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is often our homes that fall short. From poor air quality, to questionable materials, to mold and mildew issues, the home environment can often be a real impediment to pursuing wellness, living a healthy lifestyle, and truly feeling our best.
That’s why KLPOA incorporates best practices developed by the International Well Living Institute throughout the process and ensures the final project has your wellbeing as its foundation. Whether you’re planning a renovation, an addition, or a completely new build, we will work with you to not just fulfill your design vision, but also to support your health for many years to come.
Your Home is an Investment
Choosing an architect to work on your project is an investment; in your residence, in your wellbeing, and your future. To help you understand the value of working with a wellness-centered architecture firm we invite you to download the Investment Guide. This Investment Guide is designed to provide a clear understanding of the architectural process and demonstrate the real, tangible, value of working with KLPOA as we transform vision into reality.
