Philadelphia, United States

Founded in 1984, KieranTimberlake unites the expertise and talents of 90 professionals from diverse backgrounds in a practice that is recognized globally. In 2025, after 40 years as a founder and partner-led firm, we transitioned to a 100% employee-owned corporation. Our projects include the programming, planning, and design of new structures as well as the conservation, renovation, and transformation of existing buildings, with special expertise in education, arts and culture, government, civic, and residential projects. We envision a beautiful, resonant, and regenerative built environment. We rely on collective intelligence and nonhierarchical production structures for gains in economy, efficiency, and quality. Environmentally responsible design has been at the core of our practice since our founding. As a signatory of the AIA’s 2030 Commitment, AIA Materials Pledge, and a founding signatory of US Architects Declare, we believe it is our collective ethical obligation to tackle climate change, social inequity, human health, and ecological fragility on every project. We embrace adaptive reuse and renovation as a valuable climate action strategy to reduce embodied carbon.
