Jlk Architects

Research. Design. Preservation. Collaboration. JLK Architects is a Chicago-based full‐service WBE/DBE architecture firm specializing in the renovation and adaptive reuse of existing buildings, historic preservation, cultural resources management, transportation infrastructure, and new building & interior projects. We are a team of architects, planners, and historians who believe in research-driven design and people-centric preservation. Our approach always begins with research. Whether designating a historic building, restoring a landmark, renovating an existing building, or designing for new construction, we diligently investigate the past and present to design for the future. Our talented and collaborative team integrates history and technical investigation into the practice of architectural design and preservation. Since 1992, our local and national recognition in historic preservation and design excellence is a testament to our dedication to innovate and deliver.
