The K2M Team recently explored options for the transformation of a dayroom, a dining hall, and an outdoor rec yard from a traditional concrete floor / wall / ceiling environment into one that emphasizes restoration, therapy, and group engagement. The options focused on the dignified treatment of inmates to enhance outcomes while preserving safety and security.
The K2M Design and DS Architecture team collaborated to conduct a thorough citywide needs assessment for the fire department and its service area.

K2M has been a long-standing partner of Habitat for Humanity in the Florida Keys, helping to address the workforce housing crisis in this tourism economy. Our latest partnership is for the development of a property in the center of Marathon to provide eight affordable townhomes as well as a storefront along US1 (the Overseas Highway) for Habitat’s Restore, the outlet for recycled furniture, building materials and fixtures that helps finance the non-profit’s activities. K2M designed the site and resilient structures to meet tough local planning and building codes, and soon eleven families will have a new place to live.
It’s great to see the Monroe County Emergency Operations Center coming to life. K2M Design in association with ADG is providing architecture and interior design services for a new, state-of-the-art facility located adjacent to the Marathon Airport in the heart of the Florida Keys.

The EOC will provide self-sustaining support for up to 150 people for 72 hours during an event including power, food, water and communications and will also house the 9-1-1 dispatch center and Emergency Management staff year-round. The EOC should be fully operational for the 2024 hurricane season.

Natural textures and timeless elements important to the hotel brand are incorporated into the design.
