Wall & Yamamoto Architects continued the partnership until 1975 and established itself as innovators in the design of civic and cultural facilities, schools, churches, research, medical and commercial facilities, for a variety of private and corporate clients.
Robert S. Yamamoto established a private practice in 1975 at which time Myron Karp and Stephan Namisniak, working as students and later as young graduates, established a friendship and professional relationship with Robert Yamamoto that would eventually allow the history of the founding firm to grow and continue.
In 1991 Mr. Yamamoto retired after 35 years in practice. In March of 1991 the firm, Karp Namisniak Yamamoto Architects Inc. was established to continue the history. Myron and Stephan have carried on the company's reputation for exceptional service since then. Servicing a wide range of Clients through Architecture, planning, interiors and project management, KNY made a name for itself in Southern Ontario.
In March of 2016 KNYMH Inc. was established to continue the history.
