Our Team

Our team consists of highly skilled professionals who are dedicated to delivering exceptional results. Our principal architect, Chris Fadely, AIA, NCARB, IBA, is a 9th generation Bahamian with an exceptional eye and wealth of experience with coastal architecture. He has worked with clients on many projects with stringent coastal floodplain and permitting requirements throughout the Bahamian islands and on the coast of Florida. He believes that each project is an opportunity to pragmatically respond to local site, environmental, and climate conditions.

Chris uses a "results-based" approach to work with clients from "pen on paper" to "key in the door". He received his Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of Kentucky and his Master of Architecture from the University of Florida. He holds an active Professional Florida Architect License, an active professional Bahamas Architect License, a National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) certification, and is a professional member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Our lead interior designer, Linzie Fadely, NCIDQ, has an excellent eye for coastal interior design. She has experience working with clients throughout the Bahamas and in residences all over the United States. Her exceptional social skills help her to communicate with clients as well as listen to them and their needs in order to provide creative solutions for their design problems. Linzie graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. She also holds an active Florida Interior Designer License and a National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certification.

The Process

Our process begins with an initial consultation where the CKF Architecture team and client will meet to discuss needs and overall goals for the project. Following this, the architect will visit the site where the structure is to be built or renovated. Each site and its surroundings are unique; it's important that the design is a response to the individual site.

Next, the architect will listen to the desires of the client and work closely with them to create the required and necessary documentation in order to acquire an approval from the authority having jurisdiction so the project can be constructed. Throughout the construction process, the architect will oversee the construction administration. The architect has the best interest of the client in mind and will be the "go-to" contact for any questions that may arise during construction.
