The Kimmerle Group
Morristown NJ and Stonington CT
20 years
As we mark our twentieth year in practice, we prefer to focus on the incredible league of personal and professional friends and associates built over two decades and to recognize you as the back bone of our success. It is your enthusiasm and drive that constantly inspires us and infuses what we do with energy and relevance. You assure that we stay on point with a focus that extends to each and every undertaking, no matter how large or how small. George J. Kimmerle
So on this occasion, we renew our promise to provide the most relevant array of services possible to our long term friends and sponsors with dedication to your continued success and longevity.
In twenty years of practice and over thirty years in the field, we have learned that we work in a wonderful profession. Architecture is one of those rare fields where you not only get to enjoy the process, but you get to see an incredible result; an actual built construction, a real environment. The places we create become truly important to our clients and a part of their everyday lives. We also have had the good fortune over the years to meet many new clients, to learn about their companies, their livelihoods, and how they work. We then get to translate their requirements into buildings and spaces in which they can live and work. Being asked to be someone’s architect is a measure of their personal faith and trust in us, and for that we are always grateful, nor have we ever taken that commitment for granted.

KNA continually seeks a forum to stretch our creative impulses and residential architecture many times provides such a venue. There are always several ongoing residential projects in our office.
