ABOUT US

Who We Are

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

Our goal is to create buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible and functionally appropriate, providing long-lasting value to our clients. Some of our recently completed projects include 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 delivering high-quality service and design to our clients. To ensure that each project receives the attention it deserves, we assign a Principal-In-Charge and at least one Project Manager to it. Our staff members are accountable to the owner from the beginning to the post-occupancy review of a project, and decisions related to each project are made through the joint efforts of the Owner, Principal-In-Charge, and the Project Manager. To ensure that every project receives individual attention, we hold weekly team meetings that provide input from the project team. We are devoted to providing excellent service to our clients and ensuring their satisfaction with every project.
