We Are KC Architects

For nearly 40 years KCA has operated as a full-service design firm to create spaces tailored to our client’s needs.

From commercial to residential, our team of experts has built lasting relationships and earned the trust of clients across the country. Although a majority of our work is on new or renovation projects, we understand the importance of maintenance, repair, and accessibility projects.

We’ve worked with several municipalities, school districts, and private clients.

Our goal is to be your strongest advocate, represent your best interest and provide services molded to your specific needs.

Our Story

KC Architects LLC (KCA), renamed in 2022, was originally established in 1986 in the pursuit of a diverse architectural and interior design practice. In 1997, Greg Hasselwander joined Kevin Cowan at the formerly known firm of Kevin Cowan Architects, LLC, and they worked together, producing highly crafted projects, as principals, for the next 25 years. Kevin retired in 2021, with Greg continuing the architectural practice and traditional quality design services known to their clients. The renamed firm is unrelenting in the delivery of client-focused, creative, and highly detailed projects, and proceeds, always forward, with direct personal integrity, values of fairness, and quality design services. KC Architects LLC always has our client’s best interest in mind, as we administer new projects accordingly.

KCA’s projects provide “people spaces” and sound creative envelopes for recreation, business,
education, hospitality, medical, entertainment, residential, and special needs users, for both public and private Clients. Our wide range of experience enables KCA to bring diverse expertise, allowing creative, not preconceived, approaches to problem-solving, achieving our Client’s project goals.

Today, the Firm’s professional licensed architects bring more than sixty years of experience to each project. As the Firm’s Principal, Greg is involved in each project, from beginning planning and budgeting through construction and move-in, which offers our best experience and expertise while assuring continuity and accountability to our Clients.

As a full-service design firm, we assist our Clients in initial site selection, space analysis and master planning, project scope, schedule, and budget determination, space and concept design, through construction documents, bidding/negotiations, construction administration, cost control analysis, and interior design/FFE. Now, as we celebrate nearly four decades in practice, our services have expanded to incorporate Construction Management as a Registered Contractor, ADA Accessibility Consulting, LEED facilitation, existing facility auditing, and a source for expert building forensics. Although most of our work is on new or renovation/addition projects, we also understand the importance of maintenance, repair, and accessibility projects, having worked with several municipalities, School Districts, and private Clients.

Our Philosophy

The Firm was founded on the three most important criteria for providing professional services: Client Satisfaction, Client Satisfaction, and Client Satisfaction. From the beginning, KCA has used integrated management and technology systems without losing the personalized service of the “small firm”. As a result, we are proud of the long-lasting professional and personal relationships we have developed with our Clients. Our goal is to be our Client’s strongest advocate, always representing their best interest by providing services molded to their specific needs.
