The essence of Lucien Lagrange: architectural design that inspires and validates a sense of substance, reliability and comfort. These are the words we live by at Lucien Lagrange Studio.
We believe that successful architecture enhances but does not disrupt the streetscape and that emotion and delight are more important than novelty. The best buildings caress the senses with materials and details that draw on centuries of taste, craftsmanship and interpretation.
Our work is meaningful in that it deals with both tangible and intangible factors such as history, culture, scale and demographics. We understand the logic of public, semi-private and private spaces. We believe that everyone has the right to a home that makes them feel valued and protected.
We believe that architecture requires deep knowledge of building and construction and also of people and lifestyles. We understand the process of development as well as the interplay between projects and neighborhoods. We affirm the eternal Vitruvian values that buildings must be solid, useful and beautiful.
We believe in personal, hands-on relationships with clients and encourage collaboration. We know from experience that there is more than one way to realize a project. What is important is that it ultimately meets the needs and wants of the client, the buyer and the community.
WE DESIGN BUILDINGSÂ WITH MEANING
The way a building looks is only the beginning of the story. At Lucien Lagrange Studio, we create architecture that captivates at first glance, yet draws the viewer inside to experience something even greater.
WE TAKE NOTHINGÂ FOR GRANTED
We specialize in challenging assumptions – both the client’s and our own – to coax the most value out of a site and its structure. We imagine and reimagine interior spaces to create utility, artistry and comfort for the people who live and work within them.
WE FIND MAGIC INÂ THE DETAILS
It’s the little things that craft a memorable experience. We bring an intense focus to the colors, materials and fixtures within a room, ensuring that each selection reflects the greater vision behind the project.
