Prior to establishing RKM Architects, Richard was with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson for 12 years where he focused on Higher Education and larger scale public projects around the country. Kimberly shared a similar background professionally, as she also focuses on larger scale Higher Education projects in her ongoing role as Director of Design at Drexel University.
The formation of RKM Architects was a counterpoint to these experiences, and is based upon their shared desire to focus on more intimately scaled local design problems. The intent was to establish a more personal interaction with clients, consultant teams, local craftsmen and builders. It is also based upon the desire to work within the local urban environment, responding to the unique scale, texture and character of Philadelphia.

Services
Our practice was established in 2010. Our work focuses on single family residential design, small mixed use and commercial, and multifamily design. Our work has been primarily urban, within Philadelphia. Construction types include renovation, adaptive reuse and new construction. RKM Architects is a full service design firm with a focus on residential design, mixed use and public projects.
Our design philosophy embraces a modern aesthetic that is rooted in a sense of place, materiality and light. We believe that craft and attention to detail are critical to bringing humanity to built form and that the collaborative relationships we share with craftsmen lend richness to our design solutions.
