HLKB Architecture Information

HLKB Architecture is a continuation of the Charles Herbert and Associates architectural firm established in Des Moines, Iowa in 1961. This collaboration of talents continues the tradition of excellence in master planning, architectural design, interior design, and landscape architecture - a tradition that has generated some of the region’s most significant and enduring buildings. The Firm displays a commitment to serve its clients by listening carefully and working diligently to address their needs. The Firm can assemble and lead a large and diverse consultant team while working closely with an owner to facilitate accurate and immediate communication. As a result, HLKB Architecture is large enough to bring significant experience and expertise, yet small enough to provide each client and project with special care and attention. HLKB Architecture has been recognized by peer and user groups for its commitment to design excellence and innovation. The Firm was selected from the nation’s 25,000 architectural practices to receive the American Institute of Architect’s 2001 Architecture Firm Award, the Institute’s highest honor for design practice. The diversity of the work accomplished over the past 50 years is a testament to the Firm’s philosophy that deals with each client and project as a unique opportunity to listen and learn by closely working together. The result is a portfolio of sensible and successful design solutions that are of lasting value to our clients.
