Jeffrey A. Kenoff FAIA

Principal

Jeff is a prominent voice in the evolving discourse of architecture and urbanism, advancing a design methodology that synthesizes vertical density with urban connectivity. His international portfolio of mixed-use projects exemplifies how technological innovation, placemaking, and architectural detailing can be harnessed to shape more livable and vibrant urban environments.

Local Context, Global Relevance

Across a wide spectrum of projects, geographies, and scales, Jeff’s design approach reflects a nuanced synthesis of global ambition and local sensitivity. His work demonstrates how architecture can be contextually grounded while contributing meaningfully to broader urban narratives. Projects such as the T. Rowe Price Headquarters exemplify this ethos—where calibrated massing and material expression create a dialogue between regional vernaculars and global perspectives, while advancing a new vision of urban connectivity for the city.

Technological Integration

A key collaborator with KPF’s environmental performance, urban analytics, and computational design teams, Jeff is a leading voice in the integration of advanced technologies into architectural practice. His work on Westlake 66 exemplifies this interdisciplinary approach, combining daylighting studies and pedestrian flow analyses to craft a multiblock Cell Wall façade that repositions the city alongside its historical landmarks. Additionally, in collaboration with KPF’s environmental specialists, he led the design for “Track”—a responsive trellis system designed to enhance outdoor thermal comfort in high-temperature climates, underscoring his commitment to performance-driven design innovation.
