Together we craft accurate hospitality and corporate design solutions. Vision driven restaurant, hotel, casino, office and medical environments.
Us + You - because we believe that fresh ideas are born out of collaboration. We believe in sharing our knowledge.
Our studio is design director lead, allowing each project to be driven by your vision and our experience. The senior project lead then carries the project through to completion, ensuring that you - the client - are supported and managed to the end of the construction process.
Our senior designers will program, develop concepts, and envision with you; we work closely with our clients to address their challenges and design objectives. From interior design to environmental branding, our services help your hospitality and corporate environment tell the story.
We partner with our hospitality and corporate clients to learn their business model inside and out; we aim to understand their current state and work, and to determine their goals & objectives. The difference between us and everyone else is we listen.
We compose a collection of images to communicate and describe form, colour, texture, detailing, functionality, environment and sentiment. From this, a vision directive is articulated and this direction leads the rest of the project.
We turn your ideas into a tangible space by creating a visual language through free hand sketching and 3D design. We re-examine project constraints and implement creative solutions.
We cover all the bases; our design exercise is 80% technical and 20% creative. We produce construction drawings and coordinate consultants in order to realize your design vision. We provide the critical information required to build and fit out the space - always complying to local code.
We obtain competitive pricing from local, reputable General Contractors for your build out. Great drawings guarantee great prices - always! We are only as good as our last job.
Upon completion of construction and final inspection, the space is handed over. Our vision directive is then re-examined to ensure that the original project goals have been met. CKDA’s growth is dependent on our clients' success.
JOIN OUR TEAM!
We're always looking for talented and hardworking people.
