Robert (Bob) Kocher brings a human-centered lens to architecture, focusing on projects that blend built, natural, and social environments. His portfolio spans nationally recognized civic and cultural projects, community-focused residential design, and dynamic educational facilities—each shaped by his commitment to collaboration with clients and end users at every phase.

Bob’s work extends beyond the studio. He’s been recognized for his volunteerism on an urban farm training unemployed veterans and the chronically homeless for green-industry careers. A dedicated mentor, Bob has introduced young minds to architecture through programs in Rochester and at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.
