Buildings and the spaces around them are integral to the communities we live in. In 1965, our founding partners formed a studio based on the idea of practicing architecture at the intersection of art, technology, and community - to create artfully crafted spaces that transform the communities they serve and to deliver high performance solutions with the attentiveness and integrity that are the hallmark of our Southern heritage. As we look into our next 50 years, this idea forms the bedrock of our practice. KPS has evolved into a dynamic community of design and planning professionals with shared values and passion for what we do. Our lively, open studio environment encourages collaboration and allows us to take advantage of the unique talents each member of our diverse staff has to offer. We believe that listening to everyone involved in a project and harnessing that collective wisdom allows us to craft transformative environments that enhance the activities going on in and around them. Just like we do, our designs go the extra mile. We're organized into practice groups that reflect our core areas of expertise: Workplace & Technology: corporate buildings & interiors | investment buildings | institutional office space | renovation and adaptive re-use | healthcare | critical facilities | labs | light manufacturing & warehousing | banking Learning: college & university classrooms | student services buildings & dining halls | recreation & athletic facilities | campus planning & wayfinding | central plant & specialty | dormitories | pre-K-12 for public, private, and special needs Hospitality & Housing: all hotel segments | senior housing | country clubs Culture & Civic: civic centers | museums | performing arts centers | churches & synagogues | airports | courthouses | civic open spaces | government offices | libraries Community: city & community planning | urban design | neighborhood revitalization | community centers | historic districts | parks & recreation

Jan Hird Pokorny Associates is a full-service architecture firm with a strong focus in historic preservation work. Our services include condition surveys, documentation, materials conservation, historic research, historic structure reports, master planning, feasibility studies, restoration and adaptive reuse, development of documents and specifications, and construction administration. The firm has completed a broad range of commissions since its establishment in 1946 by its namesake and Chairman, Jan Hird Pokorny, FAIA. Since the late 1960s, however, the firm’s focus has increasingly been on architecture, planning and preservation for historic buildings and sites. Today, almost all of the firm’s projects involve landmark buildings deemed to be of local, state or national significance. The firm’s commissions vary widely in scope and scale, but the common thread is work on landmarked historic structures whose restoration and preservation require sensitivity towards contextual planning and design, as well as knowledge of historic materials and construction techniques and current conservation practice. JHPA is committed to preserving the irreplaceable quality of older structures through harmonious designs, careful restoration of materials, and attention to detail. Aside from its work on historic buildings, JHPA is most proud of its ability to work closely with clients and remain sensitive and responsive to their needs throughout the course of a project. The office is ultimately a service-oriented one, with a long list of repeat clients. Our staff of architects, conservators, and project managers excels at working with owners to establish sensible, cost-effective approaches to restoration, helping to insure lasting work that is respectful of original fabric, but which takes advantage of modern advances in building technology and construction when appropriate.
