Maximizing the Opportunity of Place

Every client has a strategic goal in mind when they engage us to study or design a new place. It might be to attract top physicians and nurses, educate a new generation of students, support an innovative culture or maybe create a destination hotel or restaurant within a city. No matter the type, the decision to design a new environment is a powerful and fleeting moment of opportunity to dramatically advance an organization. Our collaborative process and expert staff guide our clients to achieve powerful results through their projects and take full advantage of this moment. How can we help you maximize your opportunity of place?

ABV Social offers a unique dining experience on the west side of Milwaukee. The tavern is housed in a warehouse style building that harkens back to the historic use of the site as an industrial distribution center, using weathered brick, factory-style windows and operable garage doors that open to a large covered patio. #powerfulresults

The concept behind the Kohl’s Kitch design strives to bring the green of the outdoors inside. Green is the feature brand, accent walls, and fabric color for the built-in seating. One of the primary project goals was to make the space truly feel like a restaurant versus a traditional corporate cafeteria. The intention was to transport employees out of the work mindset into an area to retreat, allowing them to return to work with a renewed sense of energy. #powerfulresults

When faced with the challenge and opportunity of opening the brand’s first hotel in the state of Wisconsin, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants and Chicago Street Holdings selected Kahler Slater to lead the design. Kimpton’s main goal was to amplify the charm of the city while maintaining their signature amenities, service and feel. We are proud to be a part of this project and it’s beautiful scenic rooftop bar, The Outsider.
