Architecture is an interactive process – a series of collaborations between owners, designers, builders, occupants, and the wider community. This process is enabled through free-flowing communication within our design teams and with our clients.
McKinney York is a collection of talented, enthusiastic design professionals, and we believe that great design is generated when everyone’s perspective is heard and respected. This is accomplished by empowering every staff member to speak and providing a platform for them to do so. The firm celebrates employee differences because we know diversity leads to greater innovation.
Our collaborative process extends beyond the studio to embrace our clients. With each commission we actively engage our clients and listen attentively to uncover the unique qualities of their project and site. The aim of this effort is to reveal not only the client’s top-of-mind goals, but also latent functional and aspirational goals, as these often determine the real success of a project.
