About Us
Our Mission
Exceeding expectations through exceptional design
Our goal at LLW Architects, PC, is to exceed client expectations by providing the best value for services. LLW Architects, PC practices architecture in the following industries: hospitality, retail, corporate office, institutional, government, and religious facilities.
Established in 1993, LLW Architects, PC is located in Memphis, Tennessee. The firm is headed by its two founding principals, Paul E. Lague, AIA and Dell Livingston, AIA, NCARB. We recognize the increased sophistication of the hotel developer, the more demanding hotel consumer, and the extreme competition in the hospitality industry. We also offer a high level of experience with over 33 years of hospitality architecture in the United States and abroad; partnering with our clients to provide uncompromised attention to detail and quality control. This forward thinking allows us to differentiate our business from the competition, providing the client with creative design solutions that weigh aesthetics, function, and schedule, while remaining sensitive to costs and franchise standards.

Deep Experience in Hospitality Architecture
Hospitality design is shaped by constant change. Hotel developers are more sophisticated, guests are more demanding, brand standards continue to evolve, and competition remains intense.
LLW Architects understands these pressures. With more than 25 years of hospitality architecture experience in the United States and abroad, we help clients create hotel environments that support guest satisfaction, operational efficiency, franchise compliance, and development goals.
Our hospitality work includes new developments, conversions, renovations, and brand-standard projects for a wide range of hotel types and market positions.
Creative Design, Practical Execution
Our Approach to Architectural Design
At LLW Architects, each project begins with understanding the client’s goals. From there, we develop design solutions that balance creativity with practical execution.
Aesthetics
We believe strong design should create memorable spaces, support the intended experience, and reflect the purpose of the project.
Function
We plan spaces that work. From circulation and operations to accessibility and guest flow, our designs are shaped by real-world use.
Schedule and Cost
We understand that design decisions affect construction timelines and budgets. Our process remains sensitive to cost, coordination, and project delivery.
