Architect One, Inc

Check out the recently improved Salina Airport Authority Hangar 626, designed by the team at Architect One, Inc! Hutton Design+Build is proud to have worked on this innovative Salina aviation project. Kansas has such a rich aviation history and we're honored to have contributed to it with this renovation. Our team’s commitment to quality is evident in the details of this hangar, but the innovation of this hangar is in the fire suppression system. Hutton installed a state-of-the-art Clean Agent Fire Suppression system in Hangar 626, a first for Kansas airports and possibly the whole region. This foamless system uses a super-cooling agent to extinguish fires quickly and efficiently without leaving any residual damage. It's activated with smoke or heat detection, cutting off oxygen to the fire and putting it out quickly. This technology is set to elevate safety standards at the Salina Airport and beyond.

Happy National Intern Day from Architect One!   We are excited to introduce our summer intern Coral Aboud, AIAS ! Coral is entering her 5th and final year at the University of Kansas with Studio 804. She is currently pursuing a Masters of Architecture and a minor in Latin American & Caribbean Studies with a focus on indigenous languages.   "While working at AO I have had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge of the architectural profession and actually get to practice it. While schools are busy teaching us design and code, we don't often move beyond the schematic phase. Working at an architectural firm has provided me with a more wholistic view of a project from start to finish. This has allowed me to work on various project types in different phases, and get real world experience with clients, contractors, and on site before I graduate. I am grateful to have worked at AO for the last two summers and to receive their support to learn more about the industry as a student!"   Thank you Coral for all of your hard work and contribution to the AO team!

Teamwork that is transforming lives! 🏢✨ Architect One, Inc, led by Scott Gales - AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, revamped the Family Service & Guidance Center in Topeka, Kansas. Their mission?

Orizon Aerostructures were in a position where they needed to efficiently build a new facility to allow for growth and expansion of their industrial and manufacturing operations in Chanute, Kansas. Our team at Architect One was honored to work closely with the Owners and the build team to develop a new 100,000sf design solution to be constructed adjacent to their existing operations to help accomplish this. The new facility includes a large open, high-bay structure with an abundance of room for testing, manufacturing, assembly, and shipping needs for Orizon’s growing operations.  The new structure would also have modern, state of the art office space to support the large area where their everyday operations were underway.  The design brings a distinct identity to the company, and is easily recognized by passerby’s in this unique, rural area of SE Kansas. The expansion of their operations, and efficiencies of the new facility brought much-needed employment opportunities to the region.

Happy Earth Day! Green design isn't just a trend—it's our commitment to a healthier planet. At Architect One, sustainability isn't an afterthought; it's woven into every project we create. From energy-efficient structures to eco-friendly materials, we implement sustainability. A particular feature we are honed in on at AO is window darkening to keep the facility cooler during those hotter months and the energy usage low. We are also strategic in the placement of windows for optimal natural light, committing to reducing our carbon footprint while creating spaces that are a joy to inhabit.  This is why we're proud to be LEED certified, ensuring that our designs meet the highest standards of sustainability. With LEED certification, our clients can trust that their buildings not only look good but also leave a positive impact on the planet.  Let's build a greener future together. www.AO.design Listen.Design.Inspire.

The Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas represents the 26 licensed Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) in Kansas that provide behavioral health services in all 105 counties, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. In Kansas, CMHCs are the local Mental Health Authorities coordinating the delivery of publicly funded community-based mental health services. As part of licensing regulations, CMHCs are required to provide services to all Kansans needing them, regardless of their ability to pay. This makes the community mental health system the “safety net” for Kansans with mental health needs. The Association has recently completed renovations on a historic downtown Topeka building that will house not only the Association staff but also other like-minded nonprofit organizations. The newly remodeled location includes modern office spaces as well as a large event center, equipped with all the needed amenities to host meetings, training, and social events, conveniently located near the Kansas Statehouse.

Rendering VS Reality! Our team at AO recently partnered with the Kansas State School for the Blind, designing, and overseeing the construction of a beautiful new vestibule and commons area connecting three previously separate buildings. The challenge the KSSB had when they reached out to AO for help and guidance, was how to provide protection to their students and staff during storms and in the winter when they were required cross the outdoor area on a regular basis. Working closely with the KSSB leadership team, we proposed a fully enclosed addition in lieu of just a covered walkway. This new additional provided not just safety to the pedestrians, it also created an opportunity for a commons area with room for the students to have a permanent place to put their coffee shop & coffee grinding business. It became a win-win opportunity and more than just a necessity. These enhancements not only improve safety for everyone but are especially beneficial for students with visual impairments and the staff guiding them. The newly completed addition allows them to avoid harsh weather conditions as they traverse between the buildings for everyday school activities. How do you think we did?
