KTGY, a design firm focused on architecture, branding, interiors and planning, expanded its high-rise expertise with the hiring of Sam Luckino as part of the firm’s strategic growth plans.
He will partner with Craig Pryde, principal, to lead the studio and grow the firm’s team of high-rise designers in Chicago.
Luckino brings more than two decades of experience in shaping the built environment to his new role in KTGY’s Chicago architecture studio. After spending 13 years at Arquitectonica, where he served as principal and director of the firm’s New York office, he relocated to Chicago in 2018 with an initiative to expand Goettsch Partners’ domestic portfolio into urban multifamily high rise markets across the country.
As principal at KTGY, Luckino brings the highest caliber design and management practices to each new development and guides the team in developing innovative, design-driven solutions that help clients achieve their goals while elevating the role of built spaces in people’s lives.
Luckino is a member of the American Institute of Architects, NCARB Certified, is a LEED Accredited Professional, and a member of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, where he previously served as the City Representative for New York. His design leadership is reflected in projects across the globe, with his most recent notable works, Coppia in Chicago’s West Loop and Alcove in downtown Nashville, completed during his time at his previous firm.
