LRK was founded in 1983 with Carson Looney, Frank Ricks and Richard Kiss coming together to form the firm in Memphis, Tennessee. The firm has since expanded to 130 employees and grown to a total of seven offices: Memphis, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana; Dallas, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cLRK is grounded in the art of listening,\u201d said Frank Ricks. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes us different. When we founded LRK, we were young architects with not much experience but a lot of determination. We did not intend for LRK to be a national, full-service firm, but over time, because of the reputation we built and our focus on creating meaningful places, we found ourselves expanding in disciplines and locations in order to best serve our clients and to attract and retain the best talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLRK grew for the people,\u201d said LRK Principal Mike Sullivan. \u201cOur culture is built on purpose, practicing the philosophy of listening, and collaboration instead of authorship. We are one firm collaborating across multiple locations. I wouldn\u2019t be the architect I am today without LRK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born of a multi-generational entrepreneurial spirit, LRK\u2019s expertise is both broad and deep, including corporate office, hospitality, civic and cultural, town architect responsibilities, single family homes, multifamily, and mixed-use projects across the country. Involved every step of the way, LRK integrates planning, research, architecture and interior design. Sustainable practices are a given.<\/p>\n

\u201cA unique thing about LRK is our intentional focus on community and commitment to service,\u201d said LRK Principal Chris Janson. \u201cWith every project, we look at the big picture and think about what will bring communities together and promote health and well-being. We consider how what we do now will have an impact on communities 20 years from now.\u201d<\/p>\n

For 40 years LRK has applied long-term, visionary thinking to the everyday decisions of building a team, client relationships, and a firm that is meant to last for generations. By listening to its people and its clients, the firm has evolved and made positive impacts across neighborhoods and major cities alike. The strong values, philosophy and culture that founded LRK will be passed down intentionally and thoughtfully over the next 40 years to continue its success as a multigenerational firm and build on its already-established legacy.<\/p>\n
