Meet the studio.

Fugitt + Wheeler is a close-knit architecture practice in Fayetteville serving Northwest Arkansas (NWA) and communities across the state. Our size keeps the people making the design decisions directly involved throughout the project—from early planning and feasibility through construction.

Kim Fugitt, AIA

Kim Fugitt, AIA

Architect

University of Arkansas · University of Illinois

Kim earned his bachelor’s degree, cum laude, from the University of Arkansas in 1978 and a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Illinois in 1980. Early in his career, he spent thirteen months working under E. Fay Jones, FAIA, and also gained experience with Baldwin & Shell Contractors.

His work as an architect, developer, contractor, and licensed real-estate professional gives him a practical understanding of an owner’s priorities. Kim approaches design with the conviction that a building must work financially and functionally while contributing something lasting to its setting.

Architect

University of Arkansas · Class of 2009

Keith earned his architecture degree from the University of Arkansas in 2009, receiving honors for residential, architectural, and urban design. He joined Fugitt and Associates after graduation and developed his practice through close collaboration with Kim across projects in Arkansas and beyond.

His experience spans site and landscape planning, building systems coordination, architectural design, documentation, and construction administration. Keith guides projects from the first design conversation through construction with an emphasis on clear ideas, careful coordination, and spaces that feel connected to their place.

Experienced leadership, directly involved.

Architecture requires creative thinking and disciplined follow-through. We listen closely, establish clear priorities, coordinate the full consultant team, and keep design decisions grounded in how a project will be built, used, maintained, and valued over time.
