The project
KEM Studio designed the new 3,000 sq ft offices of Willoughby Design in the Stockyards District of Kansas City, completed in 2021. After the blurred home working of the pandemic, the studio was conceived as a retreat for work and for hosting clients.
Visitors arrive in a cafe-like lobby that can host clients, parties and meetings, with curtains to separate it from the workspaces beyond. White walls, steel beams and pale timber keep the space bright and flexible.
