Services
Established in 2001, Lominack Kolman Smith Architects was formed from the merger of two long-standing Savannah-based firms: Lominack Associates, a 27 year-old firm, and Kolman & Smith Architects, a 41 year-old firm. The merger brought together the expertise and experience of each to form a new venture grounded in many years of practice and a vast knowledge of Savannah's built environment.
Lominack Kolman Smith is committed to a sustainable environment and a greener Savannah. Our office designed Starland Lofts and Ellis Square, two of the few LEED Gold certified projects in Savannah.
Starland Lofts, a LEED Core & Shell project, has received numerous awards from several organizations including AIA Georgia, AIA Savannah, Historic Savannah Foundation, AIA South Atlantic Region, and an Excellence in Design Award from Environmental Design + Construction Magazine.But we do not stop there.

Lominack Kolman Smith Architects overlooked no detail during their design for the restoration and rehabilitation of the former A.S. Varn & Son Oyster and Crab Factory, now Pin Point Heritage Museum. Their sensitive approach to both the physical elements of the site, and to their relationship with the members of the Pin Point community, helped to ensure the preservation of the landmark heritage site for many future generations to experience.

Report
LKS provides a unusual level of design expertise and attention to detail, allowing the client to work as a partner in realizing the finished product. They are a firm small enough to respond immediately to questions and concerns, but expert in all phases of design, preservation, and getting the right 'fit" for your project in the surrounding context.
