History
Keffer/Overton (K/O) is a full service design firm specializing
in architecture, planning, and construction coordination. K/O has the
distinction of being the oldest active architectural firm in Central Iowa. We trace our lineage back to 1876 when
Bell & Hackney opened the doors of their architectural practice to
design and complete construction of the Iowa
State Capitol
Building in Des Moines. Throughout the years the
mantel of practice has passed on to successive generations. With each new
generation, the name of the firm has changed accordingly. In 1993, on the
firm's 112th anniversary, the name was changed to Keffer/Overton.
K/O focuses on renovation/restoration, public, commercial,
retail, cultural/museums, and mass entertainment project types. K/O is a
nationally recognized designer specializing in entertainment facility and
fairground related design with many projects around the United States.
Our projects have demonstrated a full range of design services
including architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, condition
analysis, infrastructure repair, historic renovation, planning, master
planning, programming, and construction management.
