LCA Architecture

What LCA Architecture does

LCA Architecture, Inc. is a full-service architectural firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, founded in 1999 by Leslaw A. Czaczyk, AIA. The firm is licensed to practice in seven U.S. states — Florida, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Tennessee — giving it multi-regional reach anchored in the Southeast and Eastern U.S. Its core client base is in the healthcare sector, with a particular emphasis on medical and dental practices; the firm also serves commercial, industrial, retail, hospitality, and residential clients. LCA Architecture is notably differentiated by its specialization in complex radiation oncology facility design, including Linear Accelerator (LINAC) vault shielding — a high-stakes, technically demanding sub-segment that few generalist firms execute.

The firm's service offering spans the full project lifecycle, from programming and schematic design through construction administration. It maintains in-house mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design capability for small- and mid-sized projects, supplementing its architectural practice, and offers LEED sustainability consulting and BOMA area calculations. Denise S. Cravy, AIA, NCARB, who joined the firm in 2014 and was made partner in 2017, now serves as President — indicating a structured leadership transition alongside the founder.

The business model is fee-for-service architectural work billed on a project basis, with revenue derived from a mix of new-build, renovation, and tenant-improvement engagements for healthcare providers (Florida Cancer Specialists, Water's Edge Dermatology, AQUA Dermatology, Diagnostic Centers of America, Quest Diagnostics, HCA JFK Hospital, and others) and a smaller share of non-healthcare commercial and residential projects. The firm holds Small Business Enterprise (SBE) certification, Palm Beach County vendor status, and SAM federal registration, qualifying it for public-sector and federal work. It is privately held, has never raised external capital, and operates at a small scale (approximately eight named professionals visible on its public team page).
