	The Basham & Lucas Design Group was established in October 1998 to specialize in themed architecture, land planning, master planning, landscape design, and signage design. One of the most valued aspects of Basham & Lucas is that "something extra" that we bring to your project. With our design creativity and intimate industry knowledge, you can begin to see your project develop with its own unique style, and remain within the parameters you set. We specialize in the architectural theme development of resorts, master planned communities, retail and entertainment, family fun centers, golf clubs, sporting facilities, themed restaurants, specialty commercial, multi-family and corporate offices. Because we apply the concepts of market dynamics to your project, we can help you decide what to build and how it should be designed not only to provide beautiful aesthetics, but also to enable you to realize the maximum potential of your investment. With Basham & Lucas, you also receive a unique mixture of architecture and graphic design. Land planning and landscape design as well as graphic and signage packages are integrated with the architecture to create a complete concept. The final concept can be presented in a form that can be considered artwork on its own. The Basham & Lucas Design Group has the talent and knowledge to bring something new and exciting to all of your projects. ~ FL Reg# AA 26000586
