APPROACH
Kelly Architects is a Los Angeles-based architecture and design firm specializing in restaurants, bars, and hospitality environments in Los Angeles. We manage every phase of your project, from concept and feasibility through architectural planning, interior design, and construction administration. Our designs reflect your brand identity while maximizing operational efficiency and creating memorable guest experiences. As dedicated restaurant architects in Los Angeles, we bring architecture, interior design, and hospitality planning together into one seamless process, delivering spaces that are visually compelling, functionally exceptional, and built to thrive in LA's competitive hospitality market.
We approach restaurant, bar and nigh club design with equal parts intention and imagination. Every space starts with listening: to our clients, to their vision, and to the energy they want to create. From there, we blend function, flow, and feeling into environments that work as hard as they wow. Whether it’s a corner bar or a full-scale hotel, we design with the guest in mind and the opening date circled.

Let's grab a drink
As the first phase in the design process, Kelly Architects develops an initial concept using sketches and imagery that reflect our client’s vision. This early stage considers aesthetic goals while aligning with process expectations, budget limitations, and physical site conditions.

Understand your business
Building on the concept, we refine design ideas to suit specific locations and operational models. These schematic drawings illustrate scale, flow, and relationships between spatial elements. They may reflect entirely new concepts, client-driven specifications, or inspiration from comparable successful businesses.

Design your brand experience
To bring each client’s vision to life, Kelly Architects handles every detail of the interior, including furniture, fixtures, lighting, branding, and signage. Many of these elements are custom-designed to suit specific needs, ensuring a space that feels tailored and cohesive from every angle.
