Kfir Gluzberg is the founder and principal of Kilogram Studio, a Toronto-based architecture practice recognized for its inventive approach to residential, retail, and commercial interiors. Kfir’s path into architecture has been anything but linear—rooted in early artistic exploration, shaped by international education, and driven by a commitment to both cultural nuance and pragmatic design.
A graduate of the University of Waterloo’s architecture program, Kfir later earned advanced degrees from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) in Barcelona and McGill University in Montreal. These experiences provided a foundation in both digital fabrication and architectural theory, which continue to influence Kilogram’s work today.
Kfir began his professional career at RAW Design and Levitt Goodman Architects (now LGA), and also spent time at Efrat Kowalsky in Tel Aviv, contributing to high-profile cultural projects such as the Israel Museum. In 2015–2016, he launched Kilogram Studio, with early momentum driven by a prolific collaboration with Greenhouse Juice Co.—a partnership that has since yielded more than 20 retail and production projects across Canada.
Under Kfir’s leadership, Kilogram has grown into a nimble studio that blends conceptual design with technical execution. The practice is currently engaged in ReHousing, a Neptis Foundation–funded research initiative with U of T and LGA focused on enabling small-scale apartment buildings through zoning reform.
Outside of practice, Kfir is active in professional advocacy. He has taught at the University of Toronto and currently co-leads the TSA Forums with the Toronto Society of Architects, curating public discourse around labour, practice models, and industry transformation. He also previously served on the board of a Toronto-based LGBTQ+ water polo team, and remains an advocate for inclusive design and community-building.
Kfir’s work spans the detailed and the systemic—from rethinking how two materials meet to how entire neighbourhoods could evolve—always guided by curiosity, culture, and care.
