Kenneth Bainton thrives on helping clients care for their existing buildings and brings a keen understanding of how a building’s architecture, structure, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems need to work as an integrated whole. In addition, he offers a hands-on and direct approach to overseeing the design development, consultant coordination, and budget management of individual projects. His attention to detail and comprehensive knowledge of building systems and construction make him an invaluable asset on any project, but particularly on renovation and repositioning projects.

Robert Livesey is a strong believer in the power of architecture to inspire people and transform places. As an educator, he both taught and administered at the Knowlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University for 30+ years. As the Director of the School, he was the lead “client” for the design and construction of Knowlton Hall, and therefore knows the intricacies of a project and the issues of coordinating multiple constituent groups from the client’s side.
