At DKA, sustainability is not a one-dimensional concept.

To us, sustainability is about not only creating a lasting structure—one that has a low impact on the physical environment—but also supporting a community as it nurtures and builds upon its goals, beliefs, and dreams.

We are determined to encourage resourcefulness in our employees, to create and to protect opportunities for our clients, and to embrace a set of values whose combined impact can strengthen and provide resilience to the diverse communities that we serve.

This guiding philosophy seeks to create an architecture that stands up for something: for social and economic equity, for environmental sustainability, and also for a standard of excellence that is rooted in and celebrates these values. It is about being accountable. DKA’s commitment to sustainability is a commitment to community design with a conscience.
