Rashid and Hughes, founding partners, describe the activities of their company: “Kurv Architecture is a design development company specializing in the largest increase in tangible added value through the study and development of an award-winning approach to design. We like to use the term design in the broadest sense possible to describe the entire scope of the development process.
We’ve all heard that a good building is more than a sum of it’s individual parts. Our end goal is to create a reputation for adding value by creating better buildings that positively affect our end user’s lives and create value for the community where they are found. We use design in our day to day work to shape better human experiences, hence we believe that design is a creative, social and economic act. Good design shapes emotion and makes lives better, more functional, more beautiful, sensorial and inspiring”.
