Our Process

At Lempka Architects, each project begins with inquiry and the development of a tangible program, initial project goals, and guiding design principles. The process is described as linear, but it is often fluid and interactive, with one piece of information informing another. As goals become clearer, various design ideas are tested. The goal is to create buildings that are reflective of their time, taking advantage of the materials, construction means, methodologies, and technologies available. The result is a project that is relevant to you, end users, and the critical issues of our time, such as sustainability, energy efficiency, renewable resources, and adaptability to change.
