Kansas City, MO – As we celebrate Kate Holbrook’s 5th anniversary at Rosemann & Associates, P.C., we recognize the creativity, insight, and dedication she brings to our team. Since joining us in August 2020, Kate has drawn from her international studies in Denmark and her Master of Architecture from Kansas State University to shape thoughtful, inspired design solutions across a variety of projects.

Kate’s diverse experience includes internships at architectural firms in Kansas City and her hometown of Raton, New Mexico, where she worked on residential projects, fire station additions, lodging, and storefront restorations.

At Rosemann, Kate demonstrates her expertise and passion for architecture through her work on a wide range of complex design projects and by completing the Architectural Registration Exams (ARE), earning her license as an architect in Missouri.

Outside of work, Kate enjoys hiking, exploring nature, attending theater shows, and designing furniture.

“We are grateful for Kate’s talent and positive energy. Her journey with us has been marked by continuous growth and achievements. We are proud to have Kate as part of our team and look forward to many more years together,” said Studio Director Gabe Vogl.

Kansas City, KS – The doors have officially opened at Babe’s Place at Friendship Inn, a heartfelt and meaningful addition to the Kansas City, Kansas, community. Designed by Rosemann & Associates, P.C., this brand-new lodging facility is made possible through the heartfelt generosity of lead donor Frank Thompson, who funded the construction in loving memory of his late wife, Evangeline “Babe” Thompson, with whom he shared 66 wonderful years of marriage. The project is also the result of a long-term collaboration between dedicated donors, compassionate community advocates, and the University of Kansas Health Center.

Located at 4325 Rainbow Blvd., Babe’s Place at Friendship Inn serves as a welcoming retreat for families receiving treatment at The University of Kansas Health System. For more than 25 years, the original Friendship Inn—an intimate, converted four-bedroom home—provided affordable, short-term lodging for out-of-town patients and their loved ones. Babe’s Place at Friendship Inn expands on that mission with modern upgrades and greatly increased capacity.

Designed for Comfort and Care

The new facility features 18 fully furnished guest suites, including 6 studio units and 12 one-bedroom units. Each suite includes a private bathroom and a small refrigerator to store snacks or medications—simple features that offer comfort. Guests can also enjoy both private and communal areas, as well as secure parking in a private lot behind the building.

Babe’s Place at Friendship Inn includes two accessible units and two units specifically designed for the vision-impaired, exceeding code requirements to ensure all guests feel welcome and accommodated.

Built with Purpose, Backed by Community

Babe’s Place at Friendship Inn totals approximately 15,600 gross square feet across two stories, including a basement level with a storm shelter—thoughtfully designed to serve as a comforting home-away-from-home for families in need. This meaningful new construction project was made possible through the collaboration of a dedicated team, including Rosemann & Associates, P.C., which served as both architect and structural engineer, with contributions from Don and Scott Rosemann, Erin Morris, Jack Young, and Felipe Medrano.

Additional project partners include owner/developer, Friendship Inn KC, Inc.; general contractor, McCown Gordon Construction; MEP engineer, Latimer Sommers & Associates, P.A.; civil, Engineering Solutions; and interior designer, Pulse Design Group.

President/CEO Scott Rosemann summed up the spirit of the project best: “People will have a nice place to stay that’s affordable and comfortable. We are proud to have played a role in delivering a place of rest, relief, and healing.”

Rosemann & Associates, P.C. proudly celebrates Chadd Woodall’s 10-year anniversary with our firm. A University of Kansas graduate with a Master of Architecture, Chadd brings creativity, dedication, and problem-solving expertise to every project.

Over the past decade, his innovative work has shaped the success of our designs and helped elevate our architectural impact. “Chadd’s creativity and passion have significantly enriched our projects.

Kansas City, MO – – With joyful cheers and heartfelt speeches, Amethyst Place officially cut the ribbon on its brand-new 32-unit housing campus, marking a powerful milestone in its 25-year journey of supporting single mothers and their children as they heal, grow, and thrive.

Held on a sunny Friday morning at 2750 Tracy Avenue, the celebration drew community members, civic leaders, and supporters to honor the grand opening of the multi-million dollar expansion—an 86% increase in Amethyst Place’s supportive housing capacity. Once limited to 37 units on its original Troost Avenue campus, Amethyst Place now boasts 69 nonprofit-owned units across two campuses, offering a transformative and replicable model for addressing generational poverty, trauma, and housing insecurity.

A New Chapter of Hope

The 1.28-acre site—formerly a blighted and vacant property—has been reimagined into a vibrant community for families overcoming the challenges of substance use, poverty, and trauma. Designed with intention and care, the expansion includes 25 new apartments and 7 townhomes, along with a robust network of wraparound services to support residents in building brighter futures.

Key amenities include a household pantry, wellness center, recovery coaching rooms, and programming spaces for youth and adult empowerment. Outdoor amenities feature a secure playground, family gathering areas, and inviting green space to promote connection and healing.

Guests at the ribbon cutting enjoyed refreshments by Ruby Jean’s Juicery and remarks from local leaders including Missouri State Senator Barbara Anne Washington and Blaine Proctor, Director of Housing & Community Development for the City of Kansas City, MO. Campus tours, 25th anniversary merchandise, and opportunities to engage with the organization’s mission added to the festive atmosphere.

Built with Purpose, Designed with Compassion

Rosemann & Associates, P.C. proudly served as the design architect and interior designer for the expansion. The project was shaped by a strong, women-led team of professionals who shared Amethyst Place’s commitment to empowering women through thoughtful, human-centered design.

“Being a team of women designing housing for women naturally makes sense,” said Emily Clements, NCIDQ, Project Architect at Rosemann. “We can take our own experiences and apply them to create a functional and safe environment. But it is especially important for these women—who may not have felt that security before now—to know their needs are being considered in creating a stable home.”

Design Architect Maggie Brennan added, “Single mothers and their children deserve support, love, and community on top of basic human rights like housing. Amethyst Place is an incredible organization, and I’m proud that our work will allow more women and families in our community to access their services.”
