We look forward to seeing you at our next installment of Cocktails & Conversations hosted by Gould Evans.
Gould Evans’ new Kansas City Studio, located at 4200 Pennsylvania Avenue, speaks to the firm’s continued investment in the Westport District, which it has called home for the last 22 years.
Inspired to create a space that will facilitate the firm’s vision for its progressive design practice, Gould Evans adapted a1925 era historic building into a modern workplace. The space creates an environment that fosters creativity and enables the entrepreneurial spirit that exists within the firm to come to the forefront in design thinking.
The 22,000 sq. ft, two-story studio is flexible and caters to a broader range of working styles, taking advantage of the original structure’s unique bones to provide a variety of intelligent and work environments. The environments feature a makerspace, a communal social zone for casual gatherings, a loft in the trusses for heads down space, an outdoor patio along the trolley tracks, and natural lighting from all four directions.
In addition, the firm will continue to house the STEAM Studio, a nonprofit organization that works with K-12 students to develop skills in entrepreneurialism and design thinking, using STEM education as the foundation.
