AODK is a small to mid-sized architecture firm based in the Cleveland area, operating from Lakewood, Ohio. Founded in 1999, the firm emphasizes that architecture can shape how people live, work, socialize, worship, and interact, with the aim of creating meaningful experiences. The design process integrates site considerations, natural light, and material choices, including the tactile use of stone and wood by local craftsmen to connect a project to its surroundings. Projects span urban, multi-purpose facilities as well as rural settings, reflecting the belief that experience emerges from interactions at multiple scales—from broad site context to the detail of a stair rail. As an architecture and planning practice, AODK serves clients seeking built environments that facilitate everyday life and collaboration, guided by a deep understanding of context and purpose.
