KSS Design Group

Architecture has the ability to inspire and act as a powerful force for good. At our esteemed practice, we recognize the importance of buildings as long-term backdrops for people's lives, striving to create structures that provide comfort, security, stimulation, and enjoyment. We take our responsibilities seriously, continuously working to improve and reshape the world with our designs, keeping in mind the needs of both current and future generations. As a highly-acclaimed AJ100 architecture and design firm, we have established offices in the heart of London and Kent and have garnered a reputation for being one of the leading sports stadia and training centre architects. We maintain significant credentials in residential, education, commercial, hospitality, and workplace markets.

Our Approach

Our goal is to craft intelligent, adaptable, and modern architecture informed by the site context, functionality, and a sensible strategy for sustainability and energy efficiency. Each new project brings unique challenges to solve, pushing us to evolve and enhance our design approach. Our collaborative nature and commitment to understanding, investigating, and mutual respect result in a seamless integration in the design process.

Our extensive experience spans various market sectors, giving us unparalleled familiarity with education, residential, and leisure projects. Moreover, we have cultivated a notable international reputation in major sports venues and training facilities. With a penchant for partnerships, we thrive on collaborative efforts and actively welcome alliances in the UK and globally. Our work has expanded overseas, where we join forces with local partners to deliver the ideal sports facility solutions for that market.

Our office fosters an informal yet focused atmosphere, offering clients a highly personalized and responsive service rooted in pragmatic, honest advice and a proactive attitude.

Interior and Graphic Design

Our in-house interior and graphic designers bring an extensive dimension to our projects, creating tailored interiors, wayfinding signage, and identity branding that complement and elevate our architectural concepts. We often find that exploring client core values incubates the inspiration to take designs further, broadening the scope and realizing a more nuanced and customized impact on the building and interior users. This thoughtful attention to detail yields individualized structures and interiors where a client's values, work ethic, and vision are deeply ingrained, fostering a sense of ownership and enhancing user experience.

Management and Quality Assurance

We take our role as a professionally managed organization seriously. Our services are certified under ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and 14001:2015 environmental policy. Buildings are evolving, and we harness the latest BIM software to create more efficient designs by enriching the construction, energy performance, risk reduction, and facilities management aspects.

Considering KSS a wider family and a business, we aim to offer our staff satisfying careers and growth opportunities. Our support for professional training culminates in an enduring sponsorship and mentoring scheme, nurturing promising graduate talent from their practical training post Part 1 through Part 2, ultimately awarding full professional qualification during Part 3. While we recognize that not all our graduates will stay on, many have indeed progressed in their careers within our firm, some even reaching senior levels.

Sustainable Design

Acknowledging the pressing concern of sustainability, we see green design as a vital goal and proactively counsel clients to adopt and aim beyond the ordinary short-term objectives. We pride ourselves on creating sustainable buildings that positively influence their surroundings-a tradition to which we remain strongly committed.
