FIRM PROFILE

Gentry Design Studio opened its doors on the first day of 2000 in the heart
of the Olathe Business District.  The firm has since grown to three
architectural staff and one part-time administrative staff.  

The firm’s most valuable assets are the people who make up the firm.  Their
combined experience exceeds 59 years and includes all types of projects:  
residential, commercial, office buildings, pools & cabanas, religious,
governmental, historic preservation.  

Gentry Design Studio strives to provide outstanding design and service with
integrity, from the first meeting with a client through the end of a project.  
Gentry Design Studio believes that each member of the project team—
client, architect, drafter, contractor, subcontractor—is necessary to the
success of the completed project.  We seek out all shareholder ideas and try
to incorporate them in our design solutions.  We are respected for listening
and for designing projects suited to the intended use, environment, and
budgetary requirements of each client.  

Gentry Design Studio’s goals include giving something of value back to the
community.  We are providing plans for Heartland Habitat for Humanity and
participating in constructing the houses.  We are members of the Home
Builders Association of Greater Kansas City and of the American Institute of
Architects.
