Andre Kikoski Architecture (AKA) is committed to the idea that architecture should be transformative and transformational. For AKA, architecture is a definitive tool to advance communities and cities to make our world a better place. The firm defines its success in terms of the ability to solve problems with dynamic and elegant new ideas for these and future generations.

Agnostic to scale, typology, budget and location, AKA works simultaneously across a global range of creative endeavors to rethink what others take for granted. With a sense of nimbleness, a focus on craft and materiality, and an encyclopedic reservoir of historical knowledge, AKA reimagines cities, buildings, interiors and environments that are responsive to social, cultural and ecological needs and injects a sense of energy, change, and joy into whatever challenges present themselves.

Going beyond function and aesthetics, the firm’s current projects examine the future of work, the future of food and the future of living, among other topics. From a new workplace designed in response to the shifting culture of work, to a net-zero farm that revolutionizes agriculture in the desert, to a dramatically sited oceanfront house designed to the highest standards of climate-resiliency, among other topics, AKA’s values-driven architecture is examining, and solving for, some of the pressing issues of our time.

AKA’s portfolio has garnered more than 70 international design awards and includes private residences, workplaces, galleries and museums, mixed-use developments, hospitality projects, and public and cultural projects. AKA has been featured in more than 1,000 publications across 30 countries, including Architectural Digest, Architectural Record, Fast Company, Interior Design, Surface, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Wallpaper* among others.
