Katie Laurens Architect is a full-service architecture firm specializing in residential projects — both renovations and new-builds. The Atlanta-based practice delivers elegant design solutions to complex problems while managing aesthetics, schedule, and cost. Our design process explores functionality, materiality, and proper execution in construction. The architecture reflects the unique personalities and aspirations of our clients.

We communicate clearly and often with our clients to ensure we manage expectations appropriately. Clarity around project scope, feasibility of construction, cost, and schedule is critical to the success of any project. We aim to be as transparent as possible.

We deeply value collaborating with our clients. The client’s vision is foundational to the architecture and our design solutions are highly specific to the partnership between client and site.

We leverage BIM (Building Information Modeling) to document our projects which gives us a clear advantage in the market. This technology unlocks a hyper-efficient workflow that enables a more iterative design process.

We focus on the details and truly value the process of drawing through design challenges. From corner transitions, to material selection, to door hardware — these details become the distinguishing features of a project and we are passionate about every aspect!

We are skilled at solving for complex problems with designs that are elegant in their simplicity. We value classic compositions that are scaled appropriately in response to the site and within the context of the overall project goals.

We understand the importance of educating our clients and providing them the necessary information to make confident decisions. We leverage multiple documentation methods including renderings, digital models, and tons of sketches to communicate design intent as clearly as possible.
