Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas are our primary operating areas, although we do have flexibility to offer our services in other locations. Our designs have been featured in magazines, periodicals, television features and theme design books. Each one of our designs are an original creation for our Client. We believe that great design is a hundred things that you might feel but cannot see. The Kiva philosophy of creating indigenous (native inspired) designs that incorporate organic materials of native stone, copper, and plaster with the liberal use of glass exhibits our reverence for nature and are a celebration of the human aesthetic. We approach our work with a sculptors sense of form and a painters sense of color. Although we have created many different design themes through our work, the thread of distinctive Kiva style characterizes all of our projects. Each one of our designs are an original creation for our Client. There will be no repetition of your personal residence.
