In addition to Basic Architectural Services, they have considerable experience in Pre-Design and Feasibility Studies, Programming, Signage and Graphic Design, Web-Site Design, 3D Rendering, and Furniture and Material Palette Selection. All of these services are performed in-house by the talented architects and designers who currently make up the office. From the start, lubrano ciavarra has approached each endeavor with extreme attention to detail, never missing a deadline. Early in its history, the firm achieved recognition when it was selected as the Open Phase Winner and placed second in Phase Two of the International Chicago Public Schools Design Competition: Big shoulders Small Schools.

Since then, lubrano ciavarra architects has found creative ways to push the envelope and meet clients’ expectations, so much so that the office has developed a reputation for creative planning while maintaining a critical eye towards program, budget and feasibility. lubrano ciavarra knows that the design and construct
