Practice with Purpose

Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects (LMSA) is thirty designers who share a common belief in the trans-formative power of architecture to help lead the way to a just, healthy, and regenerative future for all. The San Francisco–based firm is a nationally recognized model for all architects who would build a positive firm culture around addressing the climate emergency and advancing social justice through architectural innovation. LMSA has received more than 175 design awards, including eleven national AIA Committee on the Environment Top Ten Awards for integrated sustainable design excellence. In 2017, it received the American Institute of Architects Architecture Firm Award, the institute’s highest honor for a practice that has consistently produced an influential depth and breadth of work for over a decade. LMSA demonstrates the capacity of a small firm to make big contributions toward addressing some of the profession’s most pressing concerns.
