Helzel Boardroom, San Francisco campus Free and open to the public Kevin is co-founder and Chairman of Síol. He has worked for the international award-winning firm of Murray O’Laoire Architects and was a founding member of Freeform, an innovative design group that focused on the evolution of ergonomic furniture. In 2000, Kevin worked in Paris for esteemed French modernist architect Pierre Colboc and was lead architect for the firm’s museum and civic projects. 

In search of a more sustainable practice, Kevin moved to San Francisco, California, to head the design office of Johnny Grey USA where he began to explore design processes, sustainable systems and experiment with an integrative, multi-disciplinary approach to both building and design. Kevin is a devotee of integral theory and has seamlessly woven this philosophy into all levels of the practice. He has traveled extensively and has had the fortune of studying and working in remote destinations across the globe, including South Africa, Australia, Morocco, Dutch Guyana and more recently China, where he is currently designing several residences in Shanghai. Kevin frequently lectures in design and is on the faculty at CCA (California College of the Arts).
