KOCH HAZARD OFFICE AT FALLS CENTER
Jeff Hazard joined Koch Hazard in 1988 and became “one of the defining architects of modern Sioux Falls.” “His arrival back in Sioux Falls coincided with a renewed interest in downtown, and I think his work helped show that architecture in South Dakota could be ambitious, contextual, and deeply rooted in place,” said architect Nolan Hazard , who is also his nephew. The firm sees downtown as the heart of the city and is also where their office is located in Falls Center (which is also in their portfolio). “Koch Hazard has played a vital role in preserving many of Sioux Falls’ historic buildings, guiding the planning and development of Phillips Avenue and Falls Park , and supporting initiatives that have strengthened the downtown creative and arts community,” said architect Mason O’Farrell . O’Farrell and Nolan say McMahan often notes “there’s not a place you can go downtown where you couldn’t pick up a rock and hit a building Koch Hazard has worked on.”
