Cultural architecture is not an easy job, but we make it look easy. From corporate- supported events to original concepts, LSP is capable of experiences that run the gamut from a hot Saturday night to a cool kids’ salon. We infuse soul into every experience. ” We operate from of place where the sensory experience is the primary objective. If you feel what we are doing, the rest just falls into place.” Kat- Lead Architect
