Kenneth Cherney

Senior Associate

One of SDA’s senior leaders, Kenneth effectively combines an experienced design voice and seasoned project management skills with practical and technical expertise.

His formative years from Brazil to Canada fostered a wide worldview from an early age. Adding to that foundation with studies at University of Illinois at Chicago, Georgia Tech, and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris La Villette, he developed a deep and nuanced appreciation of what creates memorable places.

Kenny is most interested in architecture that is informed by its context and lifts its community. He has led some of SDA’s most complex projects, from the Grant Park Gateway to the McAuley Park campus.
