ARKINETICS, INC.
CLEVELAND, OH

Doing great work with great clients. In 1988, our firm began with the simple notion that design is a combination of architecture and kinetics, creating architecture in motion. From our office in Cleveland, Ohio, we help clients make informed decisions through the design process to create places to work, dine, stay, shop, and grow. Collaboration and trusting relationships are our instinctual approach to design. The Arkinetics Client Partnering Process We enjoy long-term relationships with our clients because we aren’t building-focused architects; we’re relationship-driven architects. We partner with our clients—engaging well ahead of brick and mortar discussions—to help clarify the thinking and strategy that forms the framework of a project. This sets the project parameters so we can hit our stride in the architectural design and construction process. We evaluate, assess, adjust and plan for operations and maintenance. And we check back, and keep in touch, so we’re always just a call away. We don’t just help clients design and build buildings. We help them build their businesses. As architects, understanding the current issues that our industrial clients face puts us in a better position to design their facilities. Which is why last week, Arkinetics Principal Frank Castrovillari attended the I.Con Industrial Conference in Jersey City, New Jersey. The conference is geared toward the industrial real estate sector and provides industry trends, insight from experts, and networking with top industrial leaders across the nation. The conference kicked off with two tours of state of the art facilities. The first, the Goya Foods Distribution Facility, is a 631,000 square foot structure built on a 40 acre brownfield site that will serve as the company’s main distribution center and corporate headquarters. This was the third year that NAIOP, a commercial real estate development association, has held this annual conference. It was the first year Arkinetics attended. Due to the relevant content and relationships formed at this event, Arkinetics plans on attending in the years to come. Arkinetics is looking for Good People to join our team.
