HK ASSOCIATES is the award-winning architecture firm of husband-and-wife team Kathy Hancox and Michael Kothke, focused on custom homes that are deeply reflective of the people who inhabit them. Originally from Canada, they have developed an enduring connection to the desert southwest over the past two decades, shaping a body of work rooted in place, climate, and craft.

Kathy and Michael believe in the power of thoughtful design to enrich life and view every project as an opportunity to create something meaningful.

Striving for elegance and honesty in design, their work is defined by careful listening, thoughtful planning, and attention to detail. For Kathy and Michael, architecture is a process of revealing, where the rhythms of daily life and the cycles of the environment align to create spaces and moments that are timeless and contextual.
