Presence Design Pllc

What Presence Design Pllc does

Presence Design Pllc is a professional architecture and planning firm headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, established in 2020 through the acquisition of Kenyon Architectural Group. The firm offers architectural design services across nine primary project types: multi-family residential, religious facilities, custom homes, hospitality, institutional, office, retail, master planning, and rezoning. Its underlying service model is professional services engagement, with the firm working directly with private and public clients on a project-by-project basis rather than selling a productized platform.

The firm's customer base is broad and diversified across verticals, including Arizona municipalities (City of Chandler, City of Phoenix, City of Tempe), higher education institutions (Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, Maricopa Community College District and its colleges), national hospitality brands (Marriott, Hilton), financial institutions (Arizona Bank, Bank of The West, Desert School Federal Credit Union), the NFL Phoenix Cardinals, and commercial real estate developers (KIMCO Realty, Trammel Crow, Perini Land & Development). Despite project experience claimed across 15 states and 10 countries, the firm operates from a single Tempe office with 1–10 employees and three named practitioners (Colin Doyle Kenyon as Principal, David Lloyd Kenyon as Principal Architect, and Fasil Tesfaye Bekele as Associate).

Presence Design makes money through professional service fees on commissioned architecture and planning projects, with no disclosed pricing model or publicly available rate card. There are no funding rounds, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue. Its stated differentiators are a community-centric design philosophy, a focus on high-density urban projects, and an explicit refusal to commit to a single architectural style, positioning each engagement as a tailored solution rather than a templated output.
