Celebrating 3 Decades of Success

KE Design (formerly K Engineering and Design, LLC) is one of the longest-standing fuel station architecture and design firms in the U.S., having been founded by Zyg Kwasnica in 1992.


Zyg began in steel manufacturing for canopies, leading him to set up a firm to address the needs of fuel industry customers – what we’re still committed to more than 30 years later. 


With a large portion of our clients staying with us throughout decades of change, we’re proud to be a constant, reliable partner for their fuel facility and retail needs.


As we enter a new era of electric vehicles, greener energy, changing customer behaviors, and increasing demands, we’re super excited to see what the next 30 years hold in store!
