About
We leave it better than we found it—way better.
We leave it better than we found it—way better.
Architects Kevin Kennedy and Chris Scorsone founded Cluck Design Collaborative in 2005. Cluck is a Charlotte-based architecture firm born of an obsession with beautiful design, simple, effective function and, oddly, the chicken.
Kevin and Chris each have more than 25 years’ architectural experience. Their collaborative portfolio includes design and architectural projects ranging from household fixtures to full-scale urban planning.
The story of Cluck is a glorious and sordid tale, but you’ll have to hear it from Kevin and Chris — probably over beers. They are, however, happy to share the philosophies upon which the organization is based:
Be Good. Do Good.
Treat others as you
wish to be treated.
Have fun. Forge
strong relationships.
Leave it better
than you found it.
Green is good.
Keep it simple.
Variety is the spice of
life, we don't specialize.
