Testimonial I’ve spent a lot of money constructing my restaurant and can honestly say the money I’ve paid Johnson Architecture is by far the best money I’ve spent. From finding ways to reduce costs and coming up with creative options for materials and ways to enhance the look and flow of the restaurant, it has been a very collaborative process to the betterment of the restaurant. I am very pleased with the outcome.
