DISTINCTIVE DESIGN • ENERGY EFFICIENCY • INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY
creating a sustainable future…
At id9 corporation, we’re passionate about designing creative and purposeful architecture and interior spaces that inspire and endure. We challenge conventional thinking to reimagine how we shape a sustainable built environment—one that’s innovative, efficient, and impactful.
Plan Slow – Build Fast.We fuse creative vision with technical precision, powered by AI, to deliver stunning designs and thorough construction documents — faster, smarter, and at less cost. Our advanced 3D and BIM models streamline every step, so your team can stay focused on outstanding design and flawless delivery.
Leveraging a suite of AI tools, we develop high-performance 3D and BIM models that support every phase of architectural design, engineering, and project management. With AI as an integral part of our process, we deliver thorough, detailed construction documents more quickly and at a lower cost to our clients — freeing the team to focus on exceptional design and seamless delivery.
Our mission is clear: to deliver projects that make a lasting impact. From low cost modular and panelized housing, commercial, industrial, and custom single-family developments, innovative indoor food production facilities to high end residences, we integrate energy efficiency and sustainability solutions into our designs to support a greener, healthier future. Through thoughtful design and a fully integrated delivery process, we’re reimagining what’s possible in architecture and design.

WHAT
WE
DO
Building Design, Interior Environments & Urban Planning
At id9 Corporation, we approach every project with a deep respect for intelligent, artful design—where creativity is grounded in thoughtful planning and practical execution. From the first sketch to the final build, every step is deliberate, budget-conscious, and geared toward streamlined construction.
We create efficient, modern design solutions that respect architectural history while meeting today’s urgent need for speed and sustainability. By incorporating AI-assisted construction documents and component manufacturing systems, we deliver high-quality buildings faster and smarter.
Our work blends refined aesthetics with cost efficiency—ranging from affordable housing to bespoke custom residences and diverse commercial projects. We are also pioneers in integrating indoor food production systems into residential, restaurant, and community projects—pushing boundaries of sustainability, self-sufficiency, and urban living. Our expertise extends to integrating food production into architecture, embedding indoor agriculture systems into homes, restaurants, and communities to enhance sustainability and self-sufficiency.
Rooted in the AIA 2030 Commitment, our projects advance net-zero carbon design and sustainable innovation, shaping environmentally responsible spaces that inspire and endure. At id9, design is not just about form and function—it’s about building smarter, faster, and with purpose.

HOW
WE
DO IT
Sustainable Design –
Net Zero Energy /
Zero Emissions
At id9 Corporation, we don’t just design buildings—we design the process of bringing them to life. Our approach blends integrated project delivery, advanced technology, and sustainable practices to ensure that every project is executed with precision, efficiency, and purpose.
Listening First
Every project begins with understanding your goals, site, and vision. We take the time to listen, ask questions, and uncover opportunities that shape the design direction. This foundation ensures that our solutions align with both client aspirations and community context.
Intelligent Design Development
We bring together architecture, interiors, and engineering under one integrated process. Early collaboration with structural, mechanical, and civil partners reduces redesign cycles and streamlines approvals.
- AI-assisted design tools accelerate drafting and detect potential conflicts.
- Cost and constructability reviews are built into design iterations, ensuring smart decisions from the start.
Sustainability at the Core
Our design process is anchored in the AIA 2030 Commitment. From initial site planning to material selection, we embed strategies that move every project closer to net-zero performance.
- Passive solar orientation and massing studies.
- Building envelope analysis and detailing.
- Integration of solar, hydronic heating, and renewable systems early in design.
Smarter Documentation
Speed and accuracy matter. We use AI workflows and parametric modeling to produce clear, coordinated documents that cut down review times and errors.
- BIM + AI integration streamlines drawing production.
- Cloud collaboration keeps teams connected and reduces delays.
- Drawings are optimized for permit approval and construction efficiency.
Prefabrication & Modern Methods
We translate design into buildable systems using prefabricated and panelized construction methods.
- Wall, floor, and roof systems manufactured off-site.
- Precision assembly on-site reduces waste and weather delays.
- Projects are built in weeks, not months.
Integrated Project Delivery
Our role doesn’t end at drawings. We manage the process from first sketch to final build, acting as a single point of accountability.
- Close collaboration with engineers, contractors, and suppliers.
- Transparent budgeting and scheduling.
- On-site reviews to ensure design intent is carried through.
Innovation That Endures
We continually refine our methods to respond to new technologies, materials, and community needs. Whether it’s indoor food production systems, modular housing solutions, or smart home integration, we build projects that are future-ready and resilient.
Our Promise
By uniting creativity, technology, and sustainability, id9 delivers projects that are:
- Smarter – designed with precision and intelligence.
- Faster – delivered with efficiency and predictability.
- Better – enduring, inspiring, and environmentally responsible.

WHY
WE
DO IT
The Future of Architecture.
Our Philosophy
At id9 Corporation, we are driven by the belief that architecture must respond intelligently to its purpose, its place, and its time. Our passion lies in creating designs that grow naturally from a project’s requirements—integrating the core concept (Parti), site conditions, historical context, and long-term sustainability into a cohesive and forward-thinking vision.
Kelly McKinley brings a deep respect for artistic expression and design integrity, never compromising vision, sustainability, or quality. Each project is approached as a unique opportunity to create meaningful architecture—balancing site-specific identity with the realities of budget and schedule.
We believe it’s too late to be pessimists. The future demands that we reimagine the relationship between people and the planet’s living systems. Architecture is one of the most powerful and lasting expressions of that relationship. That’s why we aim to design buildings that don’t just conserve resources—they elevate human experience.
Our goal is simple: to create symbiotic solutions—spaces where sustainability, function, and beauty are not in competition, but in harmony.
