Cicada Co.
Kansas City
Cicada Company is a residential architecture and custom home building studio based in Kansas City. From the first sketch to the final styling touch, we design and build homes that are tailored, deeply personal, and crafted with intention.
When Kyle + Tara first met, Kyle was building custom homes in Topeka, KS and Tara was studying to become an event planner. With Kyle's influence and inspiration, Tara took her event planning skills to become an owner's rep for commercial construction while Kyle continued to build custom homes. After moving to Kansas City in 2015, they continued to work in the construction industry to learn about their new city and become acquainted with local subcontractors.
That same year, a rural grain bin cabin that Kyle designed and built was featured in a book titled "Cabin Porn". That feature led to a 14 episode TV show called "You Can't Turn That Into A House" where Kyle and two brothers designed and built small cabins throughout Texas, Missouri and Kansas. Once production wrapped, Kyle and Tara decided it was time to risk it all and start their own business.
While sipping cocktails on their patio and toying with different words and phrases for their new company name, the cicadas started singing and CICADA Co. was born. Not only do the sweet sound of cicadas remind Kyle + Tara of Kansas City, but it reminds them of home and that is exactly how they want your space to feel.
