KCC Architecture is a vibrant architecture firm based in White Rock, British Columbia. Their innovative perspective on architecture as an artistic expression of the business world drives their passion to express, through their design, status, stability, branding, growth and environmental care. From the start of each project, founder and principal Karla Castellanos follows a distinctive process, which begins with taking the time to truly understand the client’s goals and aspirations, and then staying involved every step of the way to ensure deliverance and quality. “We actively engage and focus on the client’s needs – we listen,” Karla emphasizes. “Then we remain actively engaged on every step of the project. We deliver milestones as the project unfolds. We monitor the project and provide direction every step of the way. We stay up to date on changes to regulatory provisions and offer detailed solutions and expertise throughout the project’s duration.” Karla has long been passionate about architectural design. After moving from Guadalajara, Mexico, to Vancouver in 2002, she spent about eight years working with some talented firms in the Lower Mainland. During that time, she designed, coordinated and managed a variety of projects ranging from mid-rise to high-rise residential buildings, commercial and institutional spaces, as well as light and heavy industrial facilities. In 2010, Karla brought together a group of investors to develop a number of single-family residences. That successful experience inspired her to become a registered architect with the AIBC in 2011, and to ultimately establish her own practice in 2015. FEBRUARY 2025
