Who We Are:
We Are Design Thinkers.
The Lunz Group is a full-service architectural and interior design firm located in Central Florida.
We have decades of architectural design experience in municipal, healthcare, workplace and higher education, as well as other markets. We use a value-based, client-centered design process that is inclusive of all parties from the onset of a project.
Our Foundation
After concluding a successful twelve-year partnership with the Smith-Lunz Group, Edward Lunz established the firm in 1987 in Lakeland, Florida. In 2005, a new division, LPF Interiors, was launched to continue the concept of a holistic approach to architectural and interior design. A second generation of leadership started when Bradley T. Lunz, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, GGP was named President in 2014.
Growing Markets
In 2016, The Lunz Group acquired Graham Design Associates in Dunedin, FL, founded in 1981 by Jim Graham. With the acquisition of Graham Design Associates, The Lunz Group retained the leadership of Mr. Graham, its Dunedin office location (maintaining more than 25-years’ presence in the Dunedin community) and expanded our expertise to include healthcare design.
In 2017, our firm opened its newest office location in Celebration, Florida, making us better able to serve our clients throughout the central Florida region. Bringing on board Tim Wagoner, our firm gained additional expertise in higher education while strengthening our working relationships and ability to serve our clients along the eastern side of Central Florida.
Redirecting Our Focus
In 2019, The Lunz Group merged with Lakeland-based firm WMB-ROI. Recognizing a mutually beneficial partnership, we were able to expand our services to address the needs of current clients by providing additional capabilities in terms of design and technology. In addition, we grew our areas of expertise to include aeronautical, entertainment, and multi-family/affordable housing industries.
This highly complementary combination enables us to create a distinctive client-centered experience enhanced by a design-driven, solution focused approach to design.
Together, we will be better positioned to serve our clients, delivering the best of both institutions’ talents, solutions and processes.

“The quality of the facility assists in the recruitment of the top student athletes. We are a leader academically, and we want to continue to be a leader athletically. Now, when they walk on campus, they go, ‘Holy cow, this is amazing.’ And I don’t know that there’s a finer small college softball stadium in America.”
