A few words of LSD Associates’ founding member, Lev Stravchinsky, on how his design principles govern the firm’s practice.
Our Services
“IF A SPACE BECOMES ARCHITECTURE, THEN IT IS ART WITH A PURPOSE”
LSD Associates designs commercial places that provide sustainable environments and flexible workplace solutions built for longevity, productivity, and enjoyment. We believe that a built space should not only reflect, but also enhance an organization’s culture and values. Businesses today face an unprecedented mix of social, economic, environmental, and technological challenges. Our diverse staff of multi-disciplinary experts in the fields of architecture & interior design, workplace strategy, change management, brand integration, and furniture coordination help our clients to meet these challenges.
“WE DESIGN SPACES IN WHICH YOUR DREAMS ARE LIVED”
The heart and soul of what we provide. LSD Associates’ comprehensive design solutions include conceptual and schematic design, design development and construction documentation, guidance with bidding & negotiating and contract administration. Design embodies all that we touch. We are a combination of artists and tacticians envisioning, yet coordinating the creation of some of the world’s most iconic settings for memorable experiences.
We begin each relationship using the elementary skill of “listening” as our most powerful tool. Using your goals, objectives and space requirements, we develop innovative, imaginative, highly functional and operationally efficient solutions. Our ability to understand your unique needs and ability to apply our expertise to furthermore enhance your vision is second to none.
“DESIGN IS NOT JUST HOW IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE. DESIGN IS HOW IT WORKS.”
We combine global reach with a tremendous local touch. Our commitment to our communities allows us to effectively navigate local regulatory concerns. Urban sustainability is infused into all that we touch. We build energy simulation models early in our process to help inform decisions made in our design studios. Our approach is collaborative and integrated, focused on conserving resources, achieving energy independence, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and effectively improving your projects bottom line.
“WHEN RESEARCH UNITES BEAUTY AND FORM WITH INTELLIGENCE & STRATEGY, IT IS SUCCESSFUL DESIGN.”
We believe in being well out front. Our research team conducts and disseminates evidence-informed and comparative research worldwide, allowing our teams to create operationally efficient and effective design.
