Barbara Flammang & Wade Killefer

Our Profile   It is our goal to provide the highest level of service, quality sustainable design, and technical expertise to our clients. We do so by designing buildings that fit — fit the landscape, fit the program and fit the budget. Our buildings succeed when they reflect, support and celebrate the activities within them.

Our Process   Our first act as architects is to listen. From listening well comes the understanding that instructs and guides design. Our process is collaborative, informal, and evolutionary. We use both readable forms and images, as well as fresh and unexpected elements, to establish a vital and enduring relationship between the building, the site and the user.

Our History   Wade Killefer founded the company that has become Killefer Flammang Architects in 1975 as a design build firm. Barbara Flammang joined him in 1980 bringing experience from working in several large architectural firms.  We are a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise.  We designed our first library in 1983, our first school in 1985, our first affordable housing project in 1988, and our first mixed-use residential project in 1990. In the late 1990s we became active in the adaptive reuse of historic buildings into housing in downtown Los Angeles. 

Our Projects   Our work includes housing, commercial and public buildings. Housing projects include new urban apartments, mixed use residential, the adaptive reuse of historic buildings into housing, and affordable housing. Our commercial work features urban hotel and restaurant projects. We also design school and university buildings, libraries, and recreational and community buildings.
