Founded in 2000 by principal John Kaliski, AIA after eighteen years of practice in both the public and private sectors, John Kaliski Architects (JKA) is a design practice that specializes in the architecture of urban and suburban infill sites and urban design shaped by the dynamics of everyday life. In each of its projects JKA seeks clear understandings of physical, regulatory, environmental, social, cultural, and economic forces to shape plans, experiences and innovative built environments that reinforce a sense of place. The objective is to utilize space, materials, details and sustainable design principles to realize a design pragmatic that always fosters human interaction in daily activity.

JKA expertise as urbanists allows the firm to successfully implement the design of buildings, environments, and urban design plans in complex situations and settings. With our clients we create intelligent designs that simplify the procedural complexities of building in the centers and at the edges of cities, as well as the places in-between.

JKA designs start with the requirements of our clients and the forces that shape sites, communities, and regions. Our broad background in architectural types and urban forms allows us to efficiently fold these requirements and forces into the spaces, materials, and details that are reflections of our client’s programs and the present city.
