Services
JKLM Architects specializes in architecture and planning services that support the full life cycle of development projects—from early conceptual analysis through construction completion. Our expertise includes new construction, renovation, and adaptive reuse across commercial, residential and mixed‑use projects.
PLANNING
Site Design
Pre‑development and advisory services including conceptual site planning, feasibility studies, zoning and entitlement support, and yield analysis. Well-informed exploration in collaboration with clients helps to minimize risk, optimize site potential, and align project scopes with funding and approval strategies.
Entitlements
JKLM Architects supports clients through zoning and entitlement processes with clear graphic exhibits, applications, and presentations. We help clients evaluate potential challenges and position projects for review in alignment with municipal requirements, development goals, and surrounding context.
COMMERCIAL
We specialize in retail, office, restaurant, quick-service restaurant, and family entertainment environments. We create innovative, functional spaces that enhance customer experiences, support business objectives, and strengthen brand identity.
RESIDENTIAL
Affordable
Our work serves a range of specialized populations, where regulatory requirements, funding criteria, and resident needs require careful coordination and thoughtful design solutions. We create spaces that provide a high quality of life for families and seniors alike, remaining attuned to client's budgets, code and accessibility requirements, and details that last.
Market-rate
From workforce housing to luxury apartments, townhomes to walk-ups to large scale mixed-use buildings with structured parking, we bring experience to create homes to fit the need of the market and location. We pride ourselves on careful study of sites and contexts to develop solutions that can resolve challenging approvals processes and fit in with their neighbors.
ADAPTIVE RE-USE
We bring deep experience in the renovation and repurposing of older structures, where upgrading existing buildings can create new value for clients and building users. Through careful study of existing structures and assemblies, these buildings can accommodate new programs while preserving the quality of older structures, reducing project capital investment needs and unlocking state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Sustainability is an integral component of JKLM Architects’ approach to planning and design. The firm prioritizes strategies that improve building performance, reduce operating costs, and enhance occupant health while remaining aligned with project budgets and funding criteria. We have experience applying recognized green building standards, including Passive House, Enterprise Green Communities, LEED, National Green Building Standards, and comparable frameworks.
