Tour of Luckett & Farley's Offices by Aric Andrew, AIA, Luckett & Farley president.

A couple years ago, Luckett & Farley made a shift. New President and CEO, Aric Andrew, led a recommitment to design excellence by creating specialized design studios: Higher Education; Corporate, Commercial, and Hospitality; Government; Industrial; and Distilled Spirits. To realize that vision and best equip our studios for success, we needed a new space that enhanced the collaborative work experience through the latest technology, open spaces, and an energizing aesthetic.

This innovative development represents every aspect of the Luckett & Farley enterprise as it incorporates our architecture, engineering, interior design, procurement, and development services. From inception to final project, Luckett & Farley has worked as a comprehensive team to turn the 100-year-old abandoned, two-story, 45,000 SF building into a renovated mixed-use facility to host the firm's new high-end office space.

Luckett & Farley's new offices evolved after the purchase of the building adjacent to our previous headquarters. The project expanded operations and joined the previous offices to the new through a number of intricate pass-through openings. The renovation introduced the latest building technologies like VRF chilled beam systems, but at the same time, it maintained the existing historic façade. Luckett & Farley designed and constructed the building in pursuit of a LEED Gold Certification.

The Third and York building is a visual expression of Luckett & Farley's commitment to design excellence. The building's location in downtown's SoBro neighborhood shows the firm's dedication to this connective corridor between many of the city's universities, Old Louisville, and the downtown business district.
