KG+D Architects, PC has been named the Firm of the Year by the American Institute of Architects New York State Chapter (AIANYS).

The AIA New York State Firm Award was established in 2005 to recognize notable achievements in design, community service, education, and service to the profession and the AIA by an architectural firm in New York State for a period of at least 10 years. KG+D is the first firm to receive this award that does not have an office in New York City.

Over an almost 90-year history, KG+D and its predecessor firms have maintained a foundation of community which begins within our firm, extends to the profession, and out through our community of the Hudson Valley and Fairfield County region.
Our primary interest has always been to create the places you learn, work, play, govern, worship, and socialize. We are proud to have developed a legacy of projects, built in collaboration with our community members and on the foundation of trusted relationships, that have had a longstanding impact.

We are honored to be recognized as Firm of the Year and would like to thank our clients and partners for trusting KG+D with your projects. We look forward to another 90 years of creating engaging, sustainable, and inspiring structures and spaces together!

The Chappaqua Central School District opened its new Sustainability Research Center at Horace Greeley High School. At the public-school level, the Center is the first of its kind in the region: a free-standing, 2,000sf, climate-controlled, multi-zoned, glass research laboratory. The SRC offers all the tools necessary for students to conduct biological and ecological research year-round and provides students the opportunity to explore the impact of climate change on our global community. KG+D is proud to have partnered with the Chappaqua CSD to bring this facility, which had its origins grown in a classroom closet turned hydroponic lab, to life for the students of the Chappaqua community.
