Let’s do this!

Restoring, renovating, and reviving your historic home can feel completely overwhelming and confusing.

I’m here to help!

I have a passion for restoring historic homes to fit today’s families, guiding you through the entire design and construction process in a fun, low stress way, by providing clear and consistent communication from your initial ideas to move-in day.

Historic Restoration

In and around the South Carolina Lowcountry are many wonderful historic homes. These properties require an architect with expertise in historic restoration, preservation, and conservation.

Additions & New Construction

Although new construction seems to be the most straight-forward of these project types, you will greatly benefit from an architect’s expertise. We can walk you through the whole process.

Interior Architecture

This includes fully designing and detailing the interior of a home. LFA can provide options and guidance for selection of all finishes and fixtures and implement them into the design.

What We Don’t Do

We cannot be everything to everyone. Trying to be a jack of all trades means that we would be serving no one very well. So, we have chosen to focus on our areas of expertise.
