Architecture
As architects, we work with light and shadows, views, color and texture to create inspiring spaces that resonate emotionally and spiritually. We strive to get beyond simply solving the problem. Our goal is to create spaces that work well, but also evoke feelings of splendor, beauty, excitement, curiosity or calm.
We love to surprise our clients with solutions they never anticipated, resulting in something they love but never expected.
“It was a fabulous experience working with the Katz team! They provided unique options to combine two apartments and the result is our dream apartment. They meticulously handled all details and answered the specific needs with their design.”
