Introduction
Mr. Kwang Cook's profession began with 16 years of successful tenure
with a nationally renowned design build firm specializing in medical
office buildings and schools headquartered in the city of Madison,
WI. He was the chief architect and Vice President responsible for
corporate design. In 1984 Mr. Kwang Cook relocated to the Los Angeles
area to open his own solo practice, Kwang Cook & Associates (KCA).
In 1989, Mr. David Pae joined KCA and
worked along side Mr. Cook as an associate architect under his own
firm known as David Pae Architects (DPA). The KCA and DPA association
has been providing successful professional services to numerous public
agencies such as cities, counties, the military, and the federal government.
Currently, Cook & Pae Architects
has an office located in the city of Anaheim with 6 registered architects,
one licensed structural engineer, and two CAD operators who comprise
the core working group. Cook & Pae Architects retains outside
engineering consultants involved in civil, structural, and landscape
architecture, as well as fire protection, kitchen planning and environmental
engineering. |
