Established in 2009, Ben Kennedy, AIA & Matt Mann, AIA have been fusing interests in innovation and experimentation while on a never-ending quest to create design solutions that inspire.

Our versatile practice includes projects at the local and national level ranging from large-scale commercial and residential commissions. Our approach to each project investigates the collaboration of materiality and space, believing that both are a direct representation of the adaptable nature of our client’s environment.

Our solutions are built not on a pre-determined aesthetic or a rigid “signature style”, but on a naturally growing quest for ideas and answers to our client’s design challenges. Never imposed, design solutions evolve from a rigorous inquiry into the particulars of location, program and context. Each project represents our belief that we can transform problem-solving into a built environment.

At its most basic, architecture is a response to fundamental human needs in a way of organizing space while meeting practical demands. At its most exalted, architecture can introduce new perspectives and new dynamics, reinvigorating both landscape and cityscape. At Kennedy Mann strives to synthesize these two goals, to create buildings that perform as well as excite, buildings that uplift the spirit and are memorable.
