The grand opening of Enso Village was a wonderful event, showcasing the new senior living community, unique in its embodiment of Zen principles. The ceremony featured a live Enso or “zen circle” painting demonstration by the renowned Japanese painter and calligrapher Kazuaki Tanahashi. The Enso one of the deepest Zen symbols, reflects transformation and enlightenment. Our team members Christophe, Rod, and Jeff enjoyed the festivities with residents and staff on a beautiful day in Healdsburg. We are thrilled to have been a part of this meaningful project in partnership with the San Francisco Zen Center, Mithun, The Kendal Corporation, The Weitz Company, and Perkins Eastman. #SeniorLiving #EnsoVillage #ZenDesign #GrandOpening #Community #KazTanahashi #Healdsburg #Architecture #Zen #CreatingCommuniy #SeniorCare #HealthyAging #Senior #Housing 

It was an exciting (and windy) day at Rio Vista High School along the Sacramento River Delta for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening of the new Science & Culinary Arts Building! The event was attended by District leadership and board members and the school mascot Rammie, who had the honor of cutting the ribbon. The event concluded with a tour of the new state-of-the-art building. Our team was inspired to hear from students and teachers who are eager and excited to start using the spaces for the new school year that is just around the corner. #RibbonCutting #Education #School #Learn #EducationMatters #SchoolDesign #CaliforniaSchools #LearningEnvironment #HKITarchitects #HKITprojects #HKITschools #SchoolArchitecture #ShapingTheFuture #RiverDeltaUSD
