Karpf Khalili Architects

Karpf Khalili Architects creates architecture that is purposeful. We streamline the design process while staying focused on the project’s vision, drawing on our partners’ complementary skills and expertise. We bring clients into the creative act and design projects that intelligently respond to complex conditions. Our approach allows us to address contemporary issues—such as density, sus-tainability, and public space—with expediency and insight. We design all building types, and have deep experience with cultural, commercial, residential, and civic work. Our studio is headed by two professionals with expertise in very different aspects of design, giving our practice dynamism, flexibility, and diversity. Bernhard Karpf brings a body of mature modernist work to the firm. Rooted in rationalism, he has an international portfolio of projects of all typologies and scales, completed over the past three decades. Parsa Khalili is an architect and educator invested in the conceptual domain of architecture, who has cultivated a portfolio of independent research and experimental projects. With our exceptional capabilities in design and visualization, we can work with clients in real time, accelerating the design process while exploring its possibilities. This disciplined method lets us de-liver projects that are efficient and architecturally innovative. United by curiosity, a devotion to quality, and a desire to create spaces that challenge expectations, Bernhard and Parsa founded KKA in 2019.
