Mr. Suhrbier brings to dggp Architecture fifteen years of professional experience with nationally and internationally recognized architectural design firms. Kent’s diverse project experience is centered around a design process that explores the unique opportunities of each project site and responds to the specific needs of the individual client. The developed solutions are unique, while maintaining a thoughtful sensitivity to the larger environment.

This design rigor has been refined through manager and principal participation in a series of award-winning projects, including retail prototype designs, civic facilities, campus master plans, acoustic studios, private residences, corporate headquarters, and university buildings. Kent was Project Manager/Design Architect for Bohlin Cywinski Jackson’s recently completed Chemistry Research Building at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. The integration of this new 130,000 square foot environmentally-sensitive research laboratory into Yale’s existing historic campus extends previous studies for designing technically demanding buildings within contextual campus fabrics. Also working as an Associate at BCJ, Kent had the opportunity to manage the design and construction of Apple Computer’s industrial design studios in Cupertino, California. The design of these studios led to Kent’s managing role for the team that developed the prototype design for Apple's retail stores now operating across the United States and abroad.
