Intersections

We build upon our deep expertise in creating places for learning + commerce + community

Innovating in the Intersections

KSS is relentless, fearless in imagining what places can be and how they can function. Yesterday’s solutions can not solve today’s challenges; we create innovative places that realize multiple client goals at once.

We embrace developing the new place that straddles building archetypes, unlocking the potential within the complex program or the challenging context. We thrive fulfilling multiple client purposes in ever-more diverse communities.
