Kennedy Mann

The award winning, Chicago-based firm of Kennedy Mann, established in 2009 by Ben Kennedy, AIA, and Matthew Mann, AIA, fuses interests in innovation and experimentation while on a never-ending quest for answers to design challenges and solutions that inspire. Their versatile practice includes projects at the local and international level ranging from large-scale commercial to mixed-use residential commissions. Their approach to each project investigates the collaboration of materiality and space, believing that both are a direct representation of the adaptable nature of their client’s environment. Their solutions are built not on a pre-determined aesthetic or a rigid “signature style”, but on a naturally growing quest to solve problems that clients never knew they had. Each project represents their promise to push the boundaries of architectural design to change the way people experience the world, while creating things of enduring value through the realization of a vision based on imagination and innovation, to design unforgettable spaces.
