Arkos Design was founded in 2005. As we enter into our 10th year we are excited to envision where we are headed and reflect on our path over the years. Our founding principals were based on bringing an unmatched creative energy to our projects, client-centric solutions, and purposeful design.
"Inherent to architecture is that more solutions exist than problems" and "wear the hat" are from our first vision statement and are still intuitive strengths we aspire to on every project.
We founded Arkos Design as an architectural design firm with ambitions to grow through additions of other "right-brained" disciplines. We have been very blessed as a firm, and this manifested as significant early growth. In our first year we added two certified interior designers, and by the end of that year we had grown to seven employees.
Arkos Design appreciates all the successful experiences that we have shared with clients, consultants, friends, and family. Who we are now is an interwoven thread of all these relationships, and for that we are extremely grateful.
