Leading with Design, Building the Future
Mark brings over 25 years of architectural leadership built upon his seven years of construction experience. His portfolio covers all realms of housing with a focus on publicly funded multifamily housing in addition to mixed-use project types, adaptive-reuse, educational, civic work, performance theaters, museums, restaurants and hospitality. Prior to founding Lahmon Architects, he was a founding partner at PSL Architects, where his projects earned national AIA/HUD award recognition. This experience was built upon his early design experience at OMA and Gehry Associates where he gained international design skills prior to moving into his focus on local housing at KFA contributing to research that informed the City’s Adaptive Reuse Ordinance. He is a California-licensed architect, AIA member, LEED AP, and a South Bay resident, happily married for over 20 years raising 2 boys and contributing to his community through coaching and officiating soccer among other contributions. Mark passionately devotes himself to finding solutions to our housing crisis through continuous efforts with the AIA LA chapter, local non-profit organizations in a personal effort to support and house those in need through political outreach, devotion and architecture.

Built for people, budgets, and the city
Our goal is to develop creative and appropriately unique solutions that provide a positive and empowering experiential sense of place. We believe that architecture is the stage and backdrop of the built environment that has the power to shape and influence lives internally as well as externally, create memories, and either allow or prohibit thoughts and actions.
