FK Architecture

What FK Architecture does

FK Architecture is a privately held, Florida-based architecture firm founded in 1963 as Fugleberg Koch Architects. Originally established by Lyle Fugleberg and Bob Koch in Winter Park, Florida, the firm rebranded to FK Architecture in 2021 and relocated its headquarters to Maitland, Florida in 2025 after four decades at its prior Winter Park office. The firm operates as an integrated design practice spanning architecture, interiors (FK Interiors), landscape architecture and planning (FK Landscape Architecture), and offers a Renovations service line. Core technology involves building information modeling (BIM), digital drafting, and sustainable design methodologies including NGBS Green Silver-certified practices.

The firm's services are organized around housing-focused development verticals: market rate multifamily residential, affordable and workforce housing (including government programs and public-private partnerships), senior living and active adult communities, hospitality (hotels and theme park resorts), and student housing. Notable enterprise clients include Housing Trust Group (multiple affordable housing projects), Universal Studios (Royal Pacific Resort), Dollywood (DreamMore Resort), Westminster Communities of Florida, Banyan Development Group, and Floridays Development. The firm is licensed to practice in 28+ states and maintains a team of over 40 professionals.

FK Architecture generates revenue through professional design fees on a project-based engagement model, with services spanning concept through construction administration. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct relationships with developers, property owners, government housing authorities, and hospitality operators. Leadership comprises Managing Principals Ted Hunton, Kimberly Hellekson, and Ken Linehan, alongside Managing Member Gary Badge (elected 2021). The firm holds no external equity, venture capital, or private equity backing, operating as a wholly independent private practice under the Fugleberg Koch holding structure.
