STUDIOKCA Information

STUDIOKCA is an award-winning architecture and design firm led by Jason Klimoski and Lesley Chang based in Brooklyn, New York with projects ranging in scale and complexity from lighting fixtures and interiors, to public installations, sculptures and buildings in New York, Vermont, Nevada, Wisconsin, Brazil, Taiwan, and Papua New Guinea. Our practice explores the ways in which context and locality offer opportunities to design and create objects and spaces that respond directly to the demands of their programs and environmental conditions. With each project, we are interested in how materials can be crafted or purposed to solve a problem. We believe in the careful use and selection of these materials to shape a narrative, create a sense of place, and offer a unique solution that resonates with our clients and their sites. The work of the firm has been honored with design awards including an American Institute of Architects National Small Project Award, AIA New York City of Dreams Pavilion Winner, AIA Brooklyn + Queens Design Merit Award, SARA New York Chapter Design Award of Excellence, two Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Awards, three Interior Design Magazine Best of Year Award Honors, two Architizer A+ Award Finalists, and The Architect’s Newspaper Best of Young Architects Award Honorable Mention. Their work has been published in Architectural Record, Interior Design, The Architect's Newspaper, Architectural Digest, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, and broadcast on The Weather Channel, CNN, and Discovery Channel. The firm's public pavilions and installations have been exhibited on Governors Island and Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City, at the AIA National Convention, the World Science Festival, The Exploratorium Museum, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, and at the Jockey Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
