Design with direct principal involvement, start to finish.
Kin Design is a small, flexible architecture and design studio based in Utah, founded by Arthur Anderson to provide thoughtful, collaborative design from early ideas through project delivery.
Rather than maintaining a large in-house team, Kin builds the right team around each project - staying responsive, efficient, and personal while meeting the needs of complex work.
