Kappe Architects

Great designs, solid project management, and a commitment to excellence. That is what we have come to expect from Kappe+Du. This is the third time that we have used Kappe+Du to design a project for us. I think that says it all!

I have worked with Ron Kappe and Jiane Du in a collaborative fashion for both residential and institutional projects. They are both excellent, clear thinking designers with a simple clean and modern aesthetic sense. I have found the partners and staff to be a joy to work with, they are professional, courteous and thorough, the best possible combination of attributes in a design firm. In addition, I personally like their low key and calm style of interaction while never compromising on their core convictions.

We can't think of a more ideal experience. Having worked with other architects in the past, it was purely a delight to work with Ron Kappe, and have him use his artistic vision to turn our ideas, concerns, and perceived problems into design ideas that were pleasing to the eye, and a pleasure to live with. Ron was always a creative part of the solution during construction, as "opportunities" arose. Having lived in the resultant house for seventeen years now, it continues to give daily aesthetic pleasure, while the functionality of the design and details contributes greatly to our pleasure of living here. Our friends and associates rave about our home, and our good fortune in living here. Ron has continued to be available to us for consultation and advice as our thinking about our home evolves.
