Commercial architecture that's representative of your brand
We lead projects from feasibility through construction documents, with the coordination and technical clarity that keeps schedules on track and contractors from calling with questions.
OH Design Lab is a commercial architecture practice based in Lexington, KY. We work with owners, developers, and general contractors throughout Kentucky on everything from tenant fit-outs to ground-up commercial buildings.
We serve as lead consultant on commercial projects — coordinating civil, structural, and MEP engineers so you have one point of contact and one set of coordinated drawings, not a pile of disconnected reports.

Who we work with
Owners & developers
We evaluate entitlement and zoning early, so you know what you can build before you’re committed to a direction. Design stays tied to budget and investment return throughout.
General contractors
Our drawings are coordinated and buildable. You get accurate pricing information, fewer RFIs, and documentation that holds up in the field.
What makes working with us different
01
We front-load the hard questions. Zoning constraints, overlay districts, conditional use requirements — we dig into those at the start, not after design is underway.
02
One point of contact for everything. We coordinate the full consultant team — civil, structural, MEP — so you’re not chasing down three separate firms for answers.
03
Documentation built for construction. Our drawings are developed to support accurate contractor pricing, smooth permitting, and fewer field conflicts — not just to get through plan review.
04
We know Kentucky's approval processes. Statewide experience with local municipalities, boards, and permitting offices means fewer surprises on the back end.
Starting a commercial project
Most projects start with a feasibility conversation — what you're trying to build, what the site allows, and what it will realistically take to get there. We can usually give you a useful read on that quickly.
