Hoke Ley Architecture

We engaged Hoke Ley for architecture and interior design services for our urban home in Kansas City and couldn’t be happier with the results. Working with Katie, Jared, and Caleb was a wonderful experience, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have chosen Hoke Ley for our project. Should we get the opportunity to do another project in the future, we would eagerly collaborate with them again and certainly recommend their services to others.

Navigating our first home project was a learning curve, but the Hoke Ley team was instrumental in guiding us through every step. They attentively listened to our needs and desires from the project’s onset, maintaining excellent communication and displaying patience when necessary. The team’s professionalism shone as they provided expert guidance while respecting our input.

Our project presented unique challenges, as we were aiming to meet passive house design standards for our home. Hoke Ley’s involvement extended beyond designing a dream home, as they collaborated with professionals like our general contractor (Kala), an energy model consultant, and the HVAC engineering team. Throughout the collaboration, they ensured our goals remained clear among stakeholders and feasible throughout the project.

Hoke Ley’s skills proved invaluable in adapting to unforeseen constraints during construction. Their ability to identify strategic spending and offer solutions to stretch our budget without compromising quality made the design process enjoyable, even in challenging moments.

The project’s success is evident in our home, which is not only a delight to live in but also the first single-family home in Missouri certified by PHIUS for meeting passive house design criteria. The home’s independent verification, combined with its recognition by local design organizations, highlights its outstanding performance and enduring design.

Ultimately, Hoke Ley proved to be a trustworthy and talented team of professionals, which is exactly the type of design partners we needed for our project. We wholeheartedly endorse Hoke Ley for their professionalism, collaborative approach, and ability to deliver outstanding results.
