CASE STUDIES

01

Christ Presbyterian Church & Academy

Robert Kown has worked with Christ Presbyterian Church & Academy since 2016, with an initial engagement (as architect, with HASTINGS) to masterplan their 58 acre campus and create a roadmap for future growth.

The culmination of that master plan was the construction of a Phase One 550 seat theater (the Soli Deo Center) intended to serve as a new ‘front door’ to campus as well as to house the school’s administrative offices. This project informed a career pivot for Robert, which led to the creation of RK Consulting—a company built to serve passionate individuals and entities in the design and construction arena.

Since that initial engagement, RK Consulting has partnered with the Church & Academy on over 20 unique design endeavors—from a library renovation and the creation of bespoke campus art, to a 50,000 SF new athletics building, RK Consulting has remained a trusted advisor and ‘red thread’ throughout campus.

02

Educational Media Foundation

Robert led the team at HASTINGS in defining the program for Educational Media Foundation’s new 164,000 SF headquarters—a faith-based, multi-platform media company relocating from Rocklin, CA to Franklin, TN.

Over the course of a year, Robert and his team guided multiple design iterations to explore how a multi-phase campus could be realized across several prospective sites. This effort required a near-constant flow of analysis, budgeting, and design revision, as well as extensive collaboration with brokers, developers, civil engineers, client leadership, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

The result is a sophisticated campus headquarters that not only supports EMF’s operational needs but also reflects its mission, culture, and long-term growth.
