About the speaker
The founder of Hufft Architecture and Fabrication, Matthew Hufft is an architect by trade and entrepreneur by nature. He identified strongly with his creative talents at an early age, and even declared on a cassette tape for a second-grade project that his chosen career would be an architect.
Matthew holds two degrees in architecture from The University of Kansas and Columbia University. After graduating from Kansas in 2000, he won the prestigious SOM Travelling Fellowship Award.
Matthew runs Hufft, a multi-disciplinary firm, compiled of more than 50 creative and talented individuals, based in Kansas City, Missouri, and Bentonville, Arkansas. The firm has completed over 650 projects, spanning from corporate headquarters, mixed-use developments, and various hospitality projects to single-family residences. The firm has won more than 60 AIA awards and been published in 100+ national and international periodicals.
A husband and father of three, Matthew sees the great importance of design’s impact on our built environment. His keen interest for creating joy in the human experience is all the fuel he needs.
Local partners
Gorgeously designed rooms and suites help define the Crossroads experience. But more, this is where historic and modern meet. Where people from all over and around the corner come together. The energy, creativity and passion that define the city and neighborhood can call this place home. Crossroads, just like Kansas City, is at its core about community and connection. At every turn, we tapped local artists, designers and purveyors to share their talent and creativity with us in places public and private.
We create excellent, artisan-level roasts from the best coffees available while taking care of our coffee farmers in a way that goes above and beyond the status quo. We are head over heels for discovering new coffees, artfully coaxing out the best characteristics of the bean for you to enjoy. Messenger Coffee is beyond fair trade sourced and manually roasted in Kansas City.
