Bgkt Architects

Our story includes over 45 years of diversified architectural design, building upon an invaluable collection of knowledge and experience in hospitality design, as well as commercial, governmental, and institutional projects. Danny Bounds started his architectural career 14 years designing at Holiday Inn corporate, partnering in 1995 with Paul Gillespie in business since 1977, and both welcoming Art Killebrew in 2011, with then 25 years experience in large scale mixed use, institutional and corporate projects across the southeast region. Although BGKT Architects has proudly been recognized for design excellence, what really keeps us motivated is knowing that we make a difference for our clients. Working with BGKT Architects means that you get a collaborative and passionate team without the overbearing design egos and set style. Licensed in over 30 states, BGKT is a preferred vendor of Hilton, Marriott, Choice, Intercontinental, and other major brand hotels. Our vast experience in hospitality design has informed our design sensitivity on many of our Civic, Sports and adaptive reuse projects. We strive to engage with our clients, builders, and brand partners to nurture lasting relationships through teamwork and collaboration, resulting in functional, aesthetically pleasing, cost effective design solutions to ensure the long-term value for each project.
