The firm.

HKP Ar­chi­tects has been pro­vid­ing ar­chi­tec­tural ser­vices to the Pa­cific North­west since 1952. Founded on the values of honesty, simplicity, and service—our firm is highly respectful of our many long-term relationships with our clients and communities. Our work shows re­mark­able con­sis­tency over the past seven decades, and we remain dedicated to providing architectural design that is high-value, environmentally responsible, and sensitive to its site.

We focus on civic build­ings and spaces, ed­u­ca­tional fa­cil­ity plan­ning and de­sign, non-profit and com­mu­nity-ori­ented pro­jects, and pri­vate homes—work that lifts peo­ple up in their lives. Whether they are places of learn­ing, shelter, or work, our ob­jec­tive is to re­al­ize our clients’ vi­sion and op­ti­mize every op­por­tu­nity. 

All of our projects emphasize long-term value for our clients through efficient use of space, appropriate use of materials, sustainability, and the benefits of natural light.

HKP Ar­chi­tects is a Women Business Enterprise (WBE)-cer­ti­fied firm.

The community.

We be­lieve it takes more than great build­ings to build a strong com­mu­nity–outreach and in­volve­ment is also a pri­or­ity. We en­cour­age our team to serve and con­tribute and we support many of our lo­cal or­ga­ni­za­tions both col­lec­tively and individually.

The legacy.

Founded as Henry Klein and As­so­ci­ates in 1952, HKP was the first full-ser­vice ar­chi­tec­tural firm in Sk­agit County, Washington. Founding principal, Henry Klein, a na­tive of Eu­rope, was one of the Pacific Northwest’s most lauded architects. His legacy includes designing many of the region’s iconic mid-century modern homes and civic buildings.

This reverence for the power of architecture, and its effect on people of all ages and cultures, remains a vital part of HKP’s mission to this day. Current HKP Partners Julie Blazek and Brian Poppe carry forward the firm’s legacy to elevate the human spirit through use of space, materials, light, and sustainable design.

“…the simple notion of architecture as the spaces we separate from the infinite space surrounding us and then enclose: spaces that still retain all the various and changing light, colors, textures, sounds and mysteries of the universe. But because architecture is of human scale and dimensions, we can bring these wonders home and make them felt by ordinary people of all ages, backgrounds and stations in life.”
