All built places should be alive and dance gracefully with human activity and the natural world.
This ethic has been lived and realized by the architectural studio founded in 1980 by Tom Kubala and Allen Washatko. Today, the next generation of practitioners and craftspeople create timeless, beautiful, and essential places.
Most contemporary architectural design is driven by stylistic thinking, mechanistic values, and separateness. TKWA is committed to a different path.

TKWA Mission
