Kiso designs and builds homes that are healthier, more durable, more efficient, and more deeply connected to the people who live in them. From groundworks to cabinetry, energy systems to long-term care, every part is designed to work together.
Integrated planning, prefabricated assemblies, and a coordinated construction team reduce surprises before work begins and keep projects moving once work starts.
Clean air, quiet rooms, balanced humidity, filtered water, low-emitting materials, and stable temperatures are considered from the beginning.
Kiso considers materials, energy, water, maintenance, repairability, adaptability, and the long-term performance of the home.
Wood, lime, stone, mineral finishes, cork, and natural fibres create homes with depth, warmth, and a sense of permanence.
Most homes are assembled by separate trades working from separate assumptions. Kiso brings the essential parts of homebuilding together under one coordinated approach. The result is a home that is easier to build, easier to maintain, and better to live in.
Kiso shifts more decisions earlier, when they are easier to make and less expensive to change. By coordinating structure, mechanical systems, openings, insulation, air sealing, and finishes before construction begins, Kiso reduces the uncertainty that typically slows projects down.
Fresh filtered air is continuously supplied and stale air is removed without wasting unnecessary energy.
Thoughtful envelopes, radiant systems, and careful mechanical design reduce drafts, hot rooms, cold floors, and rapid temperature swings.
High-performance assemblies help reduce exterior noise, mechanical noise, and the hollow sound common in conventional homes.
Natural and mineral-based materials help create interiors with fewer unnecessary petrochemicals and less off-gassing.
Water treatment, efficient distribution, and thoughtful plumbing layouts support better water quality and less waste.
Kiso selects materials for more than appearance. Each material is considered for durability, repairability, health, sourcing, maintenance, and how it will age over time. The goal is not a house that looks perfect only on move-in day. It is a home that develops character and remains useful for generations.
Kiso One brings together specialised teams focused on the major systems that make a home perform. Each team has a clear responsibility. Together, they work from one coordinated plan.
Kiso's first fully documented homes are underway. Case studies are published as each project reaches the milestones worth writing about.
Case study in preparation
A complete-system home in one of Salt Lake City's most established neighborhoods — the first fully documented Kiso case study.
Kiso works with homeowners early to understand the site, the family, the budget, the timeline, and the long-term goals for the home.
