Kirksey providing architecture through innovative thinking, exceptional design, and unmatched client service. We have followed this mission since our founding in 1971. What began as a small commercial architecture firm 35 years ago has evolved into a diverse organization of more than 120 design professionals belonging to 11 architectural teams, each focusing on a particular business segment (see Portfolio link for individual Teams and Projects). It is this diversity of project types that allows us to provide our clients a full complement of services carried out by experts whose knowledge and talents best match our clients' business strategies and objectives.
People & Culture
In an economy where changing jobs every two to five years is the standard, we have to offer more to retain the best and the brightest. Our environment fosters the free flow of ideas, rewards ambition, and empowers individuals, giving rise to employees that view Kirksey as a career. It is this opportunistic "sky is the limit" philosophy toward individual professional and personal development that results in many long-term employees at Kirksey. Some have spent the better part of their architectural careers here, which is almost unheard of among today's architectural firms. "It is very likely that Kirksey's leaders of tomorrow are right here working today," says John Kirksey.
In the Community
Kirksey has created a successful vehicle- the Outreach Committee-for employees to contribute positively to our communities. Outreach members volunteer design and support services to worthwhile projects and coordinate all community service activities in which the firm participates. Such projects have included Habitat for Humanity homes, Calvary City Ministries, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston, Inc., and the Houston 2012 Foundation.
An annual Outreach event that targets several neighborhoods throughout Houston is the Kirksey Tree Planting. Rather than sending holiday gifts to our clients and friends, the firm chooses to plant trees in their honor each December. Begun in 1987, this program has allowed the firm to plant almost 5,000 trees throughout Houston, with sites varying based on need.www.kirksey.com
