What StudioPK Inc. does

StudioPK Inc. (legal name STUDIOPK Residential Design Inc.) is a privately held, Ontario-based boutique residential design studio founded in 2022 by Paul Kennedy, an award-winning residential designer with over 3.5 decades of accumulated experience in residential design, project management, zoning, and related technical disciplines. The company operates from a single headquarters in Haliburton, Ontario, and is structured as a sole-practitioner firm with Paul Kennedy identified as M.A.A.T.O. Residential Designer & Owner; no additional staff are publicly disclosed.

The studio delivers two core professional service lines: (1) Residential Design Consultation, covering new home construction, private residences, advanced building design, lake houses, cottages, out-buildings, renovations, second suites, and Net Zero residential projects; and (2) Guidance & Technical Services, including design guidance and critique, minor variance applications, zoning by-law review, and draft plan review. Engagements are bespoke, project-scoped, and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm maintains an active project portfolio across at least 12 Ontario municipalities spanning Central, Eastern, and Southwestern Ontario, and serves both individual homeowner clients and enterprise/civic accounts including waterfront community developers and community facility projects.

The underlying technology stack is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates through conventional architectural design workflows with no proprietary platform, API, integrations, or disclosed AI/ML components. StudioPK distributes services entirely through direct, consultation-led client engagement, supported by a WordPress-hosted portfolio website, an active social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and direct phone/email contact. The studio is wholly founder-owned, with no external investors, no funding history, and no subsidiaries.
