Kali Buchanan Interior Design is a full-service interior design firm in Kansas City specializing in luxury residential, mixed-use, hospitality, workplace, retail, wellness and tenant improvement interior design projects.
In addition to being a certified WBE business, every designer on staff has their NCIDQ to prepare high quality interior architectural design that meet rigorous code and life safety standards.
Our client-centered approach allows us to work closely with home and business owners to better learn and understand how to improve their built environment.
The historic Aladdin Hotel was once a destination for the traveler, the town gossip and the arts. The design leans into Kansas City’s historical roots from and age of opportunity and scandal. Spaces are finished in a way that suggests the eclectic community and celebrates the unique qualities that overlapped. The new amenities provide modern conveniences but nod to a pastime in materiality and color. The Aladdin still brings movers and shakers together and will provide a nostalgic home to many.
KBID was selected as the interior designer for the project, joining a thoughtful team of architect, developer, engineers, preservation experts and multifamily management consultants. KBID developed the concept for the interior design, selected finishes, specialty fixtures and equipment and created interior architectural drawings and packages for historic incentives, tax credits, contractor pricing and bid. The renovated Aladdin’s residents will write their own history while experiencing the ambiance of the past.
“I have worked with Kali at KBID on several projects. She understands my tastes and budget! I love her ideas and creativity. I highly recommend KBID!”
“We love the designs from KBID. Kali is the best design mind in town - from thinking through how to optimally use the space to the finishes that wow you. We just wish we had more projects for the KBID team to make beautiful.”
“Kali and her team are absolutely incredible. We just completed our second large project with them, and cannot recommend it enough. Aside from Kali's obvious talent for design and her absolutely impeccable taste, she is an expert at spacial planning and practical, but creative solutions. Kali is the perfect starting point for anyone contemplating a remodel or building project.”
WHAT We are an interiors focused firm. At KBID, interior design is more than finishes. We are planners, problem solvers, specifiers, drawers, but overall great designers. We listen first to understand each client’s individual goals. Our process is informative and inspirational; not oppressive. We design for our Clients, not ourselves.
HOW We are able to integrate into any project team in varying markets. Our knowledge of commercial interiors encompasses workplace, hospitality, wellness, multi-family, and civic projects. Each of our Interior Designers began their careers at premium local architecture firms in the region. Commercially trained, our expert Interior Designers seamlessly integrates into each project. Using Revit and BIM Collaborate, we are able to clearly convey our designs via 3D interior renderings, provide live updates, and documentation of all design details. Our process is efficient and effective to provide comprehensive design with the entire team.
WHO Every project is different, and each team may vary. Our background at KBID has aligned us with numerous industry partners. Our projects have provided opportunities to contract directly with Owners or act as consultants to architecture firms. Our WBE / SLBE certification provides additional opportunities for our partners to meet city diversity credentials as needed. We see the value of a holistic team and are looking for new collaborations to provide superior design.
