The perfect combination of architectural genius and people skills. We created our dream home, The Porch House, with the thought provoking ideas of Matthew Hufft. Through our thorough design process, we were able to take a modern and unconventional twist on the traditional Missouri farmhouse and we couldn't be happier! I would trust Hufft Projects with any future venture, both personal and business alike! **★★★★★ — Jon Knopke, Aug. 2014** > Without question, Hufft Projects is the most complete design firm in Kansas City. I hired Hufft Projects to design our boutique rowing studio back in October of 2013 because we wanted to bring a new perspective on what fitness could be and what it should look and feel like. In short, they delivered a home run. Matthew Hufft and his entire team fully understand how important architecture and design can be in delivering the ultimate customer service experience. I am really looking forward to working with them on our next location! > > Respectfully, > Jon Knopke - Owner > Health House **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2013** > I worked with Chris at Hufft Projects to create a custom handrail in Topeka. I showed him my ideas for an industrial feeling rail that incorporates walnut details and iron railings. The Hufft team made it come to life beautifully. The installation was hampered by snow storms and bad weather, but they got it installed perfectly. I highly recommend Hufft Projects for you next project. **★★★★★ — jennizorn, Sept. 2012** > Architecture, Interior design, construction, Fabrication. Very creative, innovative, easy to work with, and budget conscious throughout the whole project. They are constantly trying to do more for less. The work process with their team is efficient and timely. ## Selected projects - [Shadow Box House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shadow-box-house-pj-vj~5817031) - Location: Leawood, KS - Photos: 23 - Description: Shadow Box House merges seemingly-conflicting elements in a rich and complementary design. Located in a desirable suburban neighborhood, the original ranch-style home lacked the entertaining and outdoor living space its owners desired. A complete renovation and key additions modernized and expanded the home to better fit the needs of a growing, active family. The home blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Interior spaces open and spill onto a three-sided courtyard that fills th… - [Streamline House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/streamline-house-pj-vj~5605555) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 31 - Description: Situated above a stream that pumps more than 300,000 gallons of crystal-clear water through its site each day, Streamline House is designed for its local vernacular. Drawing inspiration from the site’s natural stream, the power and elegance of flowing water is celebrated in the transposition of traditional forms. The form of the home is conceptually pushed and carved away by the flow of the site’s runoff making its way toward the stream, and the carves created by the passages of water become spe… - [Artery Resdience](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artery-resdience-pj-vj~5605489) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 27 - Description: The Artery Residence is an artful fusion of two program functions – home and gallery – merging dramatic relationships between art, landscape and light. The design collective, consisting of designers, fabricators and builders, sought a similar synergy in the project delivery. The team’s collaborative approach meant design, build and custom object/casework fabrication could all be provided under one roof. Multiple three-story atriums (referred to as the home’s “arteries” in design) anchor the desi… - [Revived Tudor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/revived-tudor-pj-vj~5605540) - Location: Mission Hills, KS - Photos: 16 - Description: Revived Tudor is a study in how to blend the iconic Tudor’s home proud history with a simple, modern aesthetic and active lifestyle. Decades of renovations were stripped away to reveal the history of the home. Simple interventions and thoughtfully-considered detailing complement the original craftsmanship, still present in nearly every space. A single, small addition – a space for a private office – was added with care to differentiate new construction from the old, while still respecting the Tu… - [Heavy Metal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heavy-metal-pj-vj~461205) - Location: Joplin, MO - Photos: 27 - Description: Aptly named, Heavy Metal is a steel-clad private residence sited on eight acres of heavily wooded terrain. The client owns a steel manufacturing facility, and he wished to have his home reflect both his family business and his personal artistic background. These desires became a critical component for the layout of the home. The residence was designed to be a single-level, gallery-like space in which the client could move easily—from home, to office, to studio—with strong connections to nature f… - [Porch House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porch-house-pj-vj~21773) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Showhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showhouse-pj-vj~5605522) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 25 - Description: The Showhouse was built to display the full range of design and fabrication capabilities offered by Hufft. It serves as a model unit for clients, testing ground for design prototypes and the Hufft family home. We used the home to explore new materials, test new construction methods and ensure the functionality of new forms, ranging from brick coursing to cabinet pulls. At least one prototype was tested in every room. While employing innovative design methods throughout, the home aligns with the… - [Baulinder Haus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baulinder-haus-pj-vj~461222) - Location: Leawood, KS - Photos: 11 - Description: Baulinder Haus is located just a few houses down from a landmark Kansas City area home designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer. Baulinder Haus draws inspiration from the details of the neighboring home. Vertically oriented wood siding, simple forms, and overhanging masses—these were part of Breuer’s modernist palette. The house’s form consists of a series of stacked boxes, with public spaces on the ground level and private spaces in the boxes above. The boxes are oriented in a U-shaped plan… - [Curved House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curved-house-pj-vj~21741) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - Description: The Curved House is a modern residence with distinctive lines. Conceived in plan as a U-shaped form, this residence features a courtyard to allow for a private retreat to an outdoor pool and a custom fire pit. The master wing flanks one side of this central space while the living spaces, a pool cabana, and a view to an adjacent creek form the remainder of the perimeter. A signature masonry wall gently curves in two places signifying both the primary entrance and the western wall of the pool caba… - [Postcard House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/postcard-house-pj-vj~461263) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Terraced House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/terraced-house-pj-vj~6698273) - Location: Ridgedale, MO - Photos: 39 - Description: Terraced House is a natural retreat with million-dollar views. This family home takes full advantage of its vista on Table Rock Lake, and instills a sense of ease. Exterior spaces spill off main living spaces, extending the interior out into the open and blurring the boundary between inside and out. These spaces are grounded, warm and protected. The interior is natural and warm, designed intentionally for generations of family members and friends to enjoy varied access to the serene surrounding.… - [Tatami House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tatami-house-pj-vj~5605577) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 18 - Description: The Tatami House sits on a hilltop site in Springfield, Missouri, beneath a thick canopy of trees and the vast Missouri sky. When we designed the residence, we turned to traditional Japanese architecture for inspiration. We sought to create a strong relationship between the interior and exterior environment through spatial layout and the use of natural materials. We looked at traditional methods of construction and detailing and applied them in ways that fit with modern building technology. The… - [Webster House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/webster-house-pj-vj~5605570) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 11 - Description: The Webster House is located in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. A modern renovation of a historic two-story brownstone, our design celebrates the connection between old and new. The home centers around an intricate steel staircase. It divides the living and dining room, filtering light through its thin vertical structure and allowing views across the entire ground level. In the kitchen, cove lights, quartz countertops and high-gloss white casework bounce light around the space. Clean lines… [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/hufft-pfvwus-pf~1921060614) ## Community Q&A **Q: Gorgeous sofa!
