Slaggie Architects

What Slaggie Architects does

Slaggie Architects, Inc. is a privately held architecture and design services firm headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, with a second office in Omaha, Nebraska established in 2010. The firm was founded in 1972 and operates with a team of approximately 20-30 architects, designers, planners, and support staff. It delivers integrated services spanning architecture, planning, interior design, graphics/branding, and full project management, serving enterprise clients across commercial verticals including automotive dealerships (Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City, Aristocrat Motors, Hendrick Lexus), banking (Central Bank, Connections Bank), grocery and retail (Cosentino's Market, Whole Foods Olathe Pointe), restaurants (Charleston's, Mahogany), entertainment (K1 Speed), multi-family residential, mixed-use developments, and senior living communities. The firm's technical capabilities center on conventional BIM modeling, 3D visualization, and rendering rather than differentiated technology platforms.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model, with fees determined per project scope and billed via multi-year contracts typical of mid-tier architecture engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and relies on professional reputation, client referrals, and community involvement in the Kansas City and Omaha markets, supported by an active website portfolio and organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The firm is owner-led by Principal Scott Slaggie, with senior leadership including Senior Vice Presidents Frank Scicchitano (Director of Design) and C.W. Keller, and Director of Omaha Office Patrick Morgan. Slaggie Architects maintains professional affiliations with AIA, NOMA, IIDA, USGBC, ULI, and ICSC, and was ranked among Kansas City's Top 30 Architecture Firms by Kansas City Business Journal in 2022.
