What kasper architects does

kasper architects + associates (marketed as ka+) is a Jacksonville, Florida-based full-service architectural and interior design firm founded in 2002 by Erik C. Kasper and led as CEO by the founder alongside four named partners (Chris Densmore, Lauren Insalaco-Schwing, David Martin, Jason Martucci). The firm operates as a single company across two design studios — Downtown at 500 N. Ocean St. and South at 10175 Fortune Parkway — to serve enterprise clients in the Southeast US, with approximately 25 total team members including 10 registered architects supported by designers, drafters, interior designers, project managers, and administrative staff.

The firm's service portfolio spans healthcare, education, corporate office, industrial, automotive, hospitality, worship, community, retail, sports, and cultural facilities, and includes an integrated interior design practice. Underlying technical capability rests on Building Information Modeling using the Autodesk stack — Revit, BIM 360, Navisworks, eSpecs for Revit, and Dynamo — supplemented by 3D photorealistic rendering, animation, and virtual reality visualization intended to support stakeholder immersion and approvals. Notable engagements include the $145 million, 380,000 SF Southeast Toyota JAXPORT Vehicle Processing Center on an 88-acre site, the 75,000 SF Jacksonville Jaguars corporate headquarters at One Tower Court, the 54,000 SF Baptist Health Central Services Center, and 70,000+ SF Kingsminster Ponte Vedra K-8 charter school, alongside a multi-decade Pet Paradise design program spanning 9 states and 50+ resorts.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services — custom-quoted fees for architectural and interior design engagements spanning master planning, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration. There is no publicly disclosed standard pricing. Go-to-market is relationship-driven direct enterprise sales supported by portfolio reputation, industry recognition (AIA, IIDA, Gator100, JBJ Fast 50), and community involvement rather than mass marketing. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or parent entities; ownership sits with the founder and partner group.

Regional players
