Introducing the Team

Kohler Architecture has been a family operated business since it was founded in August 1977, by Architect John D. Kohler, a Monroe County native. The firm became a Michigan Professional Corporation in 1988 and operated under John’s direction until 2014. Sons Keith and Mark Kohler took over ownership and operations of the firm in 2015 until the present. Much of the staff have strong community roots and have also chosen Kohler Architecture as their career company. The employees are considered the firm’s best asset and something it is most proud of.
