KdG, a Division of Shive-Hattery
KdG, founded in 1974, is a professional design firm specializing in commercial architectural, interior design, civil engineering, and land surveying services. In the past 30 years, we have become one of the leading gaming and hospitality design firms in the United States.
In July of 2022, KdG was acquired by Shive-Hattery, a full-service architecture and engineering design firm based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Shive-Hattery was founded in 1895, has over 530 employees and 15 offices located throughout the upper Midwest as well as Tucson and Phoenix. The combination of our two firms merges the experience, talent and skill of a boutique hospitality design firm with the vast resources, skill and talent of a large, multi-discipline design firm serving many market areas over a large portion of the country.
From client-inclusive idea generation to interactive community engagement, we are grounded in the belief that design-thinking is a collaborative act. Our real-time approach to listening and problem solving offers direct communication and feedback, allowing more time for aligning beauty, function, sustainability and cost.
