K2M Design

What K2M Design does

K2M Design is a privately held U.S. architecture, engineering, interior design, and facilities consulting firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, founded in 2001 by Scott Maloney. The firm operates from eight U.S. offices and employs more than 120 integrated professionals delivering project-based services across senior living, hospitality, commercial, civic/government, correctional, multi-family residential, industrial, and facility management markets. Its service portfolio includes core architecture and engineering design, the trademarked Culture Architect and enVision methodologies, and the standalone K2MFacility asset management and facility condition assessment platform, which assesses millions of square feet of retail and commercial space annually.

The firm's commercial model is enterprise professional services: multi-year, project-based fees are secured through direct business development, long-term client relationships (e.g., Westminster Village North since 2001), and preferred designer agreements with major hospitality brands IHG Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Worldwide. Federal revenue is accessed through a GSA Schedule Contract under Facilities Maintenance and Management (03FAC). Growth has been driven by organic geographic expansion and the 2017 acquisition of The InterDesign Group, Inc., which added senior living, higher education, and K-12 capabilities plus an Indianapolis office. The firm is privately owned with no disclosed external funding and continues to invest in leadership depth, including a CFO, Chief Experience Officer, and Director of Project Management.
