Kiba Workshop designs & builds future-forward spaces for highly creative, considerate humans
We take a waste not, want not approach to designing structures that acknowledge and embrace our Earth’s evolving conditions. Our practice recognizes the need for optimistic innovation and client care
Who we are
We design and deliver tailored solutions that help clients & developers balance the needs of people and nature. Our multidisciplinary practice specializes in residential projects located in Shoreline Zones and Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs). We create projects that are beautiful, buildable, and defensible—reducing risk, restoring ecological function, and generating long-term value.
Why choose us
Technical expertise: Our team combines soils engineers, ecological designers, landscape architects, and permitting specialists with decades of combined experience in shoreline stabilization, living shorelines, peat settlement areas, and liquefaction prone areas.
Science-led design: We ground every project in site-specific data—soil dynamics, structural design , drainage strategies, and hydrology—so solutions perform predictably under changing conditions.
Regulatory fluency: We navigate federal, state, and local ECA rules, preparing permit-ready packages and managing agency coordination to accelerate approvals and reduce risk of costly revisions.
Proven delivery: We produce construction documents, phasing strategies, cost modeling, construction. and construction administration to ensure that design intent translates to durable field results and controlled budgets.
Design - build
Kiba Workshop is a proud partner with Silver Peak Construction for design-build projects. Our design-build approach integrates design and construction under a single contract and a unified project team.
Key elements
Single point of responsibility: One contract, one team — the design-builder — handles both design and construction, reducing owner risk and simplifying communication.
Continuous cost transparency: Real-time budget tracking and early cost validation align design ambitions with budget reality.
Early risk identification: Cross-disciplinary teams identify and mitigate technical, schedule, and procurement risks before they escalate.
Lower total cost: Reduced change orders, improved constructability, and targeted value engineering decrease lifecycle costs.
Our commitment We pair experienced design and construction professionals who prioritize transparent communication, disciplined cost control, and measurable outcomes. The result: projects delivered on schedule, on budget, and built to perform.
