At Ki Concepts, we seek to explore, reveal and express the concept of “Ki” in how we work, collaborate and give form to our designs. Ki Concepts believes that Great Design should be the foundation of all we create and we strive for design excellence. Another driving force for Ki Concepts is the importance of leaving this world a better place for future generations. Not content to just simply mitig
ate and maintain, we develop solutions and relationships through our projects that enhance, improve and ultimately regenerate a place. We seek to use the design process as a tool to create healthy, sustainable outcomes for the short and long term. In order to create an unforgettable landscape, there is a sequence of actions to conceptualize and build an environment that meets our client’s vision and needs. At its best, it transcends function and the problem solving of site. Through thorough analysis and intuitive response to our client and site, a “Great Design” emerges, revealing and celebrating the spirit of place. Design is part art and part science, it is the act of creation and the creation itself; it is process and the product. At Ki Concepts the idea and practice of team is a crucial one. Particularly as a small firm, it comes down to people: who is doing the work and how we do it. The Ki Concepts team is comprised of a core group of individuals whose diverse expertise and passion includes landscape architecture, architecture, horticulture, arboriculture, planning, graphic design, business, and financial management. What binds us is our passion and commitment to Hawai`i, the `aina and its people. Together we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach utilizing our skills and talents which allows us to connect with our clients, other design professionals and key stakeholders, to identify, define and give form to each project’s unique vision. We believe in the power of synergy created by combining passion, knowledge and focus in an open exchange of ideas and possibilities while seeking creative, innovative yet practical solutions. We are led by two principals with experience from around the Pacific including Japan, Seattle, San Francisco and, for many years, the Hawaiian Islands. Ki Concepts team members are firmly rooted in Hawai`i but our experience hails from many places including Canada, San Francisco and Seattle. Our skills and expertise cover a broad spectrum of landscape planning and design and each member brings with them new and exciting design ideas. Our internal team rallies behind service, serving our clients and community with excellence. From listening and “reading between the lines”, our strong ability to communicate to the detailed management of our projects, Ki Concepts strives to provide exceptional service and innovation that continuously exceeds expectations.
