Internationally recognized and highly design driven, PKDG relies on a conscientious architectural and design approach as the foundation for each Phil Kean Design Group project.
Beginning with a worldview of architecture that incorporates design for specific locations and topography, each PKDG design is one-of-a-kind and customized to satisfy the distinctive requirements and unique lifestyle of each client. Led by the design talents of Principal Phil Kean, AIA, PKDG home designs reflect Phil’s signature approach to integrating natural elements and the surrounding environment, creating seamless transitions of indoor and outdoor living spaces that are a PKDG hallmark.
Building in the Central Florida area and its beaches, PKDG limits its building area and number of projects to ensure superior quality and design integrity. Featuring “green” construction methods, PKDG custom homes are built with extreme care and attention to detail, ensuring maximum sustainability.
Growing up the son of a contractor, Phil Kean aspired to be an architect from the age of 11. Studying at prestigious Harvard University and Washington University, Phil earned his Masters of Architecture (MArch) and Masters of Business Administration (MBA). He is a Licensed Architect (AR95091), Certified Residential Contractor (CRC1327855), Licensed Interior Designer (ID6290), and Certified Green Professional.

With a calm, genuine demeanor and an honest, trustworthy approach, Phil’s intuitive nature and light-hearted personality allow him to effortlessly guide clients through a seamless PKDG design/build process. An expert at spatial, functional and sustainable design, his projects have received numerous design awards and international recognition.

Dedicated to exceeding his client expectations, Phil believes in a “never say no” design philosophy that encourages evolving the design throughout the design/build process. This philosophy allows for the perfection of a design aesthetic or function.
