ABOUT US

Who We Are

LTA Architects has been providing quality commercial and residential architectural services since being founded (as g.d. longwell architects) in 1981. We have always been committed to delivering the highest design quality, technical expertise, and hands-on principal/client involvement to each project we undertake. With over four decades of experience, we have developed an innovative approach to architecture that involves listing carefully to our clients, learning from them, and leading them through the entire project process from programming, through construction.

We focus on designing environmentally responsible, functionally appropriate, and aesthetically pleasing buildings that provide lasting value. We have recently completed numerous projects, including the new Non-Profit Companions Animal Center, feasibility studies for our surrounding school districts, varying-sized medical facilities, custom lake homes, and more.

Let's Work Together

At LTA Architects, we are committed to providing quality service and design to our clients. Our policy is to assign a Principal-In-Charge and at least one Project Manager to each project, ensuring that every project receives the personalized attention it deserves. Our staff members are responsible to the owner from the beginning through the post-occupancy review of a project, and decisions regarding each project are made through joint efforts with the Owner, Principal-In-Charge, and the Project Manager. Our weekly team meetings provide input from the project team, ensuring that every project has principal involvement and personalized attention. At LTA Architects, we are dedicated to providing outstanding service to our clients and ensuring their satisfaction with every project.
