About Kodet Founded in 1983, Kodet Architectural Group is a second‑generation, minority‑owned architectural practice dedicated to strengthening communities through human‑centered design. We work primarily with local governments, public agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools, and religious institutions. Our work transforms public and community facilities into durable, welcoming places that reflect the identity and values of the people they serve. Our practice is grounded in five core values: quality, efficiency, design, community, and sustainability.

Professional Growth We believe in developing architects from within the firm. Professional development includes mentorship, experience across project phases, AXP support, ARE preparation resources, paid time for licensing exams, lunch‑and‑learns, professional conferences, and opportunities to pursue credentials related to sustainability, accessibility, specifications, and project delivery. As your experience grows, we want your responsibilities to grow with you.
