September 2025
After being named to the inaugural Forbes America’s Top 200 Residential Architects list for 2025, k YODER design has been chosen as a Forbes Best-in-State Residential Architect for 2025. kYd was selected as one of Pennsylvania’s leading practices.
Forbes engaged in 10 months of rigorous research to produce the list, America’s Best-in-State Residential Architects, encompassing a total of 400 architecture practices from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Forbes expanded its research-and-evaluations processes created to produce the Top Residential Architects list, with methodology that, “drilled even deeper into the unique circumstances—cultural, social, economic, political, lifestyle, and beyond—that shape the markets for the custom single-family house in each individual state.”
“We’re so proud to be recognized for a second time by Forbes,” said kYd Principal Kevin Yoder, AIA, LEED AP. “It is an honor to be elevated on this national scale among the country’s and Pennsylvania’s leading designers. We congratulate all of the listed firms.”
