In 2023, FK Architecture, A Fugleberg Koch Company, celebrated its 60th anniversary of providing modern, innovative, high-quality, and creative architectural designs throughout the nation. What began as a one-person architectural practice has expanded to hundreds of employees over the years. Evolving with the industry trends has always been a priority for FK Architecture, which is why the firm serves six different architectural sectors in 29 states.
"From the beginning, the firm was built on high professional standards, conservative business values, and unchallengeable business ethics. Through generations of leadership, these foundation blocks have never wavered." said founder Bob Koch. "Today's milestone recognizes all who have served the FK team and contributed to its continuing success. As a founder, there is immense pride in what FK has done and will continue to do in the future."
Exceeding client expectations, collaborating to achieve creative results, and dedicating time and energy to each project sets FK Architecture apart. The firm's success was recently highlighted in BD&C's Giants 400, which honors the nation's most prominent architecture firms; FK received recognition in six categories. The firm received recognition in the Orlando Business Journal in 2022 as one of Central Florida's Golden 100 top private companies and an award in 2021 for Best Places to Work.
"Our team of passionate individuals prioritize collaboration and communication in their approach to all projects," said Kimberly Hellekson, Managing Principal. "We are grateful to the wonderful clients. Without them, we would not be here today. We look forward to celebrating our 'brand champions' later this year."
To celebrate this milestone, FK Architecture will reflect on the journey that brought the firm to where it is today. The past 60 years have cemented the firm as a powerhouse in the industry, expanding offerings, implementing new technologies, and growing the team. In the coming year, FK plans to implement more sustainable designs, develop projects in new states, and embrace recent trends and technologies.

"We constantly look for ways to push boundaries in the field and implement more efficient and effective designs. I am thrilled that we are celebrating this great achievement, and I am excited to continue growing and making positive change in the industry."
