Founded by Karl Fender and Nonda Katsalidis, the firm has been notable since the early 1990s, producing many landmark buildings in Melbourne and other Australian cities and also in South East Asia. The firm was first established as Nation Fender and, since 1996, as Nation Fender Katsalidis.

FKA buildings are distinctive, often very masculine and sculptural, they also feature a variety of materials and textures such as exposed steel, left to the weather, or rough hewn timber. An early FKA project involved the conversion of former grain silos in Richmond, a Melbourne suburb, into distinctive apartments featuring balconies resembling a ship's bow. FKA also designed Eureka Tower completed in June 2006 in Southbank, which has become Melbourne's tallest building and one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.
