About the Firm
KlingStubbins is a full-service architecture, engineering, interior design, planning, and landscape architecture firm consisting of over 400 professionals across six offices. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, KlingStubbins also maintains offices in Beijing, China; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Raleigh, North Carolina; San Francisco, California; and Washington, DC. Our commitment to design and range of professional expertise has allowed KlingStubbins the opportunity to enhance the environs for Corporate/Commercial, Government, Healthcare, Higher Education, Hospitality/Entertainment, Institutional/Civic, Mission Critical, and Science + Technology clients. Our focus on the needs of our clients, integrating their business drivers into the creative process, has resulted in projects of enduring value. Todays complex building environment requires the talents and skills of an array of experts to implement the requirements of even a very basic project. At KlingStubbins, we pride ourselves on exceeding our clients expectations by assembling teams of professionals specifically selected for each engagement. We have united experts representing the full range of services including executive leadership, day-to-day management, design, workplace strategy, engineering, cost estimating, and fire protection and life safety, as well as technical document production and construction. The leadership structure for the team provides clients with a single point of contact while having access to KlingStubbins nationwide talent pool. Our proven project approach combines the personalized service of a small firm with the depth and breadth of resources available only from a national full-service practice. KlingStubbins is committed to an integrated design practice that is dedicated to high performance building systems. We are rooted in the exploration and cultivation of design that is both enriched by our knowledge of sustainable principles and enabled by our use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). We have developed processes and tools that ensure that the design objectives are carried through from concept to implementation and construction, helping the project team clearly engage in decision-making throughout the design and construction process. But for all our technical ability, we are not primarily about the methods we employ. Simply, we are about design. It is the inescapable essence of our practice, the perfect marriage of artistry and problem resolution, the conjoining of science and humanities, the blending of a syllogistic resolution with personal willful determination. It is what architecture, engineering, interiors, and planning have always been about.
