Focal Design Studio

Focal Design Studio is a full-service architecture and design firm based in Kansas City, MO. We work as a close-knit team of architects in a studio environment crafting spaces and experiences that leave a lasting and positive impact on the people and places they touch. A majority of our work is based in the rural landscapes, regional towns and large urban centers of the Midwest. The history, character and people of these communities are the primary source of our inspiration. 

We understand excellence as the result of a rigorous design process and valued input from multiple voices and hands. Active and collaborative engagement between client, architect, consultant, builder, and maker is critical to any successful project and no singular hand is seen as responsible for the whole. Similarly, the design process within our office is not a top-down formula. We work in an open studio environment where ideas can originate from anyone and all projects are open to discussion and critique. The project team is then responsible to develop, research and test those ideas in a controlled and rigorous manner. Everyone is invested in every project.
