We are thrilled to announce that we have a new firm name, brand identity, and website! UK Architects, after 27 years, is now MA+KE Architects.
Our firm has changed so much in recent years—new principal, new staff, new technology, new office space—and we felt it was important to rebrand and update our name to better reflect our growing team. Finally, with principal architect Sloane Mayor joining the firm in 2018, it made sense to craft a new name.
MAKE means many things: primarily, it indicates what we do best as architects—create new spaces and places for our clients and our community. Secondly, it’s a combination of our two principals’ last names: Sloane MAyor & Chris KEnnedy.
“Being relatively new to the firm, the process of rebranding has given me the chance to dive into what made UK Architects successful in the past, what I brought to the company, and have a hand in crafting our way forward as MA+KE Architects. This really helped me feel integrated with our message and with my new partner in the business. Including our staff in that same messaging, especially with several who are new, has galvanized us as a group.” said Sloane Mayor, principal at MA+KE.
Our new look and website were developed under the direction of Charrette Venture Group (CVG), one of the only investment groups focusing on the architecture space. In addition to advising on finance, operations, organizational structure, leadership, and talent recruitment to architectural firms, CVG helps with business development, marketing, and brand design as well.
“We have come a long way in the past few years and quite frankly, could not have arrived where we are today without the guidance of CVG,” said Chris Kennedy, principal at MA+KE.
We hope you enjoy looking around our new website, and as always, if you have an architectural project in mind, please feel free to contact us.
