Working across architecture and interiors practices, we are a group of passionate designers who enjoy tackling unique challenges with creative thinking and innovative design solutions.
Our culture is rooted in the firm’s five core values: people, learning, design, service, and sustainability.
Our people are our greatest asset.
LDa’s talented designers have diverse skillsets and backgrounds, offering an extensive knowledge of architectural history, design principles, schools of thought, and construction techniques. Our team members are responsible for the firm’s most valued resource—the strong relationships built with clients, collaborators, vendors, and other design partners.
An open and lifelong exchange of ideas and experiences.
We make each other better designers and collaborators through an open exchange of diverse ideas and experiences. Whether it’s through seminars to discuss technical skills (a Professional Practice meeting on stair detailing) or office-wide gatherings to share an individual’s personal interests (a presentation of photos from a recent vacation abroad), we work to inspire each other and expand our thinking on a daily basis.
Design is how we answer questions and solve problems.
We find design opportunities in all we do, from wide gestures to small details. As a firm, we do not focus on a particular style of design; rather, we appreciate the opportunity to take each client’s unique aesthetic and translate it into the built form.
Providing exceptional service has been a top priority for LDa since our founding in 1992.
We recognize that every single project, regardless of type, scope, or size, is an important investment to our clients—in both a physical (dollars, time) and emotional sense. Our design process is structured with this in mind. See How We Work.
Live in the present, think of the future.
Sustainable strategies are embedded in our design process, and we educate clients about opportunities for reducing energy and water consumption, using green materials, and other ways to execute their projects sustainably. We wholeheartedly believe that a design solution can be both beautiful and resource-efficient.
