KMF Architects

Eric Kleinsteuber, AIA and Alexandra Witthaus presented their session, "Material Memory: Technical Decisions in Historic Intervention" at the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation Preserve Florida Conference. In historic preservation, every technical detail is a negotiation between present performance and preserved memory. Viewed through the lens of case studies of the Leu House, the Mote Morris House, the Rogers Kiene Building, the Maxey Crooms House and the historic Zephyrhills Theater, this session explored how the material record, embedded in wallpaper fragments, ornamental castings, roofing stratigraphy and structural assemblies, provides the foundation for responsible intervention.

KMF Architects was honored to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Galileo School for Gifted Learning in Sanford. This early learning center aims to be an oasis of inspiration, playfulness, and education. It is a manifestation of the Galileo School's mission in built form, interjected with site-specific considerations and a great deal of whimsy. Each element of the project is designed to enhance student comfort, happiness, safety and access to nature. The building's form presents an uplifting face to students and visitors, taking inspiration from the inventions of the astronomer Galileo Galilei as well as the nearby Sanford airport.
This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for future students, educators, and the entire community. We are proud to support a project that is dedicated to inspiring curiosity, innovation, and academic excellence through thoughtfully designed learning environments for our youngest learners.
We look forward to seeing the vision for Galileo School come to life and the positive impact it will have for generations to come.

Happy 19 Years, Eric Kleinsteuber!

Your steadfast leadership, deep well of knowledge and experience, problem-solving ability, sense of humor and commitment to Designing Everything continue to propel KMF Architects forward each and every day!
