Ethos
Klima Architecture
Our work is profoundly rooted in place. We consider each project the beginning of a multi-generational process of stewardship, harnessing an ecological ethos which drives us toward the most carbon-efficient design at every turn. Working primarily in mountain and desert environments has taught us the importance of respecting each climate’s powerful yet fragile integrity.
