I-Kanda Architects

I-Kanda Architects is an award-winning architectural design practice founded by Isamu & Marley Kanda, following graduation from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. The firm creates buildings and spaces that are modern, yet enduring – equal parts purpose and sculpture; broadly ranging from lofty barn conversions to Back Bay penthouses, boutique storefronts to mountain-side cabins.  The firm approaches each project as a new array of needs and desires out of which to conceive uniquely enhanced forms and environments.  Their aim is to turn constraints into possibilities - to work with clients, builders and sites to realize ideas far beyond anyone’s initial hopes. Since its inception, the Boston based firm’s work has graced the covers of Boston Home Magazine and Boston Globe Magazine, and been published in Dwell, Dezeen, AN Interior and Azure. The firm has been awarded the AIA Design Honor Award by the Boston chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Architizer A+Award, the AN Best of Design Award, the Best of Boston Home Award for Urban Architect, and was selected as "Next Progressives" by Architect Magazine
