Commercial Architecture for Metro Atlanta

Restaurant design * Tenant fit-up * Permit Drawings

At LKS Architects, we focus on helping businesses open successfully by delivering practical, code-compliant architectural solutions tailored to your project goals.


Restaurant Design & Build-Out
We understand the unique demands of restaurant projects. From developing practical kitchen layouts to coordinating menu-driven equipment selections and designing efficient dining spaces, we balance functionality, guest experience, and construction budgets to support successful operations.


Tenant Fit-Up & Commercial Interiors
Tenant fit-up projects require careful coordination of timeline-to-opening, landlord tenant improvement (TI) allowances, and efficient interior layouts. We work to keep projects moving forward so businesses can occupy their space and begin operations as planned.


Permit Drawings & Code Compliance
For many projects, obtaining a building permit is the primary hurdle to getting started. We prepare accurate construction drawings that support efficient permitting, construction, and Certificate of Occupancy approval—helping you focus on launching and operating your business.


With over three decades of experience serving Metro Atlanta, LKS Architects delivers reliable architectural services that support successful commercial projects.
