Kha Architects
At its core, architecture is creative, inspiring and optimistic. It’s about what’s possible.
A full-service architecture and interior design firm that specializes in residential design, KHA Architects is widely recognized for its ability to create visually arresting, inviting and supremely comfortable residences. Again and again, clients say the firm honors and incorporates their most deeply-held idea of home — in a way they never could have imagined — into their design.
One thing is clear. Success and vast experience have not diminished Kristi Hanson and her team’s intrepid love for the profession. An all-consuming desire to design residences that are about the best of who their clients are keeps the quintessentially creative KHA team lit up and innovating like nobody’s business.
