Our firm consists of a diverse mix of licensed and LEED accredited architects, Associate Architects, planners of interior design, architectural interns and administrative personnel working in a creative environment of collaboration to meet clients project-specific needs.
Client-Centric Approach
From the initial idea sketches through computer models to “final punch” at the end of construction, we lead clients in collaboration to design beautiful places where they work, play, worship, create, and learn. Our team uses a collaborative approach to design that leads to solutions with purpose and lasting value.
For over twenty years, Lopez Salas Architects (LSA) has been providing exceptional services to clients statewide through a commitment to excellence, loyalty and dedication. LSA maintains a diverse design practice and has completed a wide variety of projects for private, federal and public sector clients.
Our versatile project experience includes educational and healthcare facilities, municipal and public buildings, commercial and retail structures, and religious facilities. In addition to new construction, Lopez Salas Architects has completed dozens of adaptive-reuse and renovation projects that involved the complete transformation of facilities such as warehouses, grocery stores, school facilities, deserted and outdated buildings into new beautiful and functional buildings.
Lopez Salas is committed to sustainable site planning, conservation of resources, water and energy efficiency, as well indoor environmental quality. Our firm was one of the first offices in San Antonio to utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for all of our projects. We incorporate BIM technology on every project we undertake using various Revit software programs.
