Kuhn Riddle Architects

Kuhn Riddle Architects is a design studio located in downtown Amherst, Massachusetts, established in 1977 by John Kuhn and Chris Riddle. The second generation of leadership includes Jonathan Salvon, Charles Roberts and Aelan B. Tierney. WE SERVE A DIVERSE CLIENT BASE We provide architectural and interior design services to a diverse client base throughout the Pioneer Valley and beyond, including colleges and schools, individual families, churches, offices, retail and multi-family developers, and municipalities. WE BELIEVE IN CONTEXT We believe in design which has strong links to context and site. As a New England firm we understand and respect historic buildings, and know that there are times to blend design with the historic fabric and times to complement the existing design through contrast.. WE ARE GOOD LISTENERS We translate your words into the built environment. For us, design and construction are communicative and collaborative processes that succeed when all genuine stakeholders work together and have ownership of the finished product. WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Sustainability permeates our thought process on every project, at every level of design, from schematics through construction. Whether the project is new construction or a deep energy retrofit, we are committed to providing our clients with designs – and ultimately buildings – which are sensitive to the environment. WE ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY We believe in giving back to our community. Many of our staff volunteer their time to serve on local design review boards, planning boards, school boards, local non-profits and more.
