We strive to craft contemporary architecture and objects that exceed expectations, elevate experiences, and enhance the quality of life for residents of the Midwest and beyond.
Handcrafted, Contemporary
TRETOW is a design studio and fabrication company working in Kansas City, Milwaukee, & beyond. We specialize in hospitality, retail, office, and residential architecture as well as custom fabrication of furniture, casework, and specialty architectural elements.
We enjoy working at a range of scales from tabletop object to an entire building and seek to capture the power of simplicity in all projects. We believe that great design rewards a keen eye, the closer you look the more you see.
We complete projects in partnership with clients and collaborators utilizing a unique design-build approach. Our approach creates a seamless project process and ensures ambitious, comprehensive results.
