About
What sets Krueck Sexton Partners apart is our ability to realize a project's hidden potential. We leverage its competing elements and constraints to create opportunities to increase impact and value.
Taking the client's goals and budget as our own, we bring to every project both curiosity and insight from an intentionally diverse body of work, including a dedicated Landscape Architecture and Planning studio. The result is environments that fulfill client needs, support their aspirations and elevate the human experience.
The firm was founded in Chicago in 1981 and reflects the pragmatism and clarity of the city's architectural heritage. With offices in Chicago and Los Angeles, our 37-person team holds a Los Angeles Small Business Enterprise certification and remains committed to using design to address today's greatest challenges.
Greater Transparency, Equity and Impact
As a firm dedicated to creating a positive impact on the environment, receiving the JUST Label affirms our efforts to implement sustainable and equitable practices in our designs and operations.
We love what we do.
We check our egos at the door, approaching our work, clients, and each other in a spirit of openness and possibility. This drives the choices we make — including the diversity of our portfolio, our commitment to the city of Chicago, and our design advocacy to mitigate climate change.

Doing and making is how we think.
We are tied to our legacy of rigorous architecture – human proportions, special materials, and hand-crafted execution. Our craft is evidence of the purposeful creation happening inside our studio.
Catalysts for change.
We take responsibility for the welfare of all life. As such, our decisions consider social innovation, equity, and dignity for all.
Since 2013, KSP has invested over 1% of our time for pro bono architecture services into the greater Chicago community — we’re not slowing down.

Unity in diversity.
KSP is a culture for creativity. Our practice is a dynamic place for discourse where design issues are openly debated. We empower each other and share ideas to design meaningful, resilient spaces.
