We receive your routing plan, AutoCAD files, or site sketches, along with any reference imagery or drone photography of the site.
Your routing is precisely projected onto existing aerial or drone photography, establishing the correct perspective and scale.
Using advanced imaging techniques, we build out photorealistic fairways, bunkers, greens, and landscape features from the projected base.
We work through iterative Photoshop revision cycles with you until the rendering perfectly captures your design intent.
Send us your routing plan or AutoCAD files and we'll get back to you with a project scope and timeline.
Contact UsLooper was built on a foundation of hard work, a love for the game, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Looper Architecture & Engineering was established in 2022 by brothers Andrew and Jake Regnery. The game of golf shaped their career paths when they started caddying at their local club at just 12 years old. Many summers and over one thousand loops later, their hard work was rewarded when the Western Golf Association granted them each the Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship.
With the financial burden of college off their family's shoulders, Andrew and Jake were able to attend Northwestern University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where they both pursued engineering degrees.
Recognizing the role golf played in shaping their careers, they set out to create more than just an architecture and engineering firm. They built a company dedicated to the game itself.
