LSB Design
LSB’s designs start with an investigation: the location, site, the existing structures or elements, the needs and desires of the client, their current lifestyle and the one they aspire to, and of course constraints due to budget and regulations. All of this guides the design process. It’s a rational journey that places the functionality of the spaces at its core. All design decisions are thought through, as LSB Design is sensitive to the environmental and economic ramifications. This approach results in architectures that are anchored to their surroundings, making the most of sun exposure, natural ventilation and views, rational configuration of space and modern, clean lines. Whether designing a whole new building, a remodel, or interiors, ultimately the objective is for every element to fall into place. Simply.

Marcela and Logan Architects
We are a wife & husband architecture firm.
The services an architect provides are often misunderstood, or at least underestimated. We approach each project as an opportunity to change this. Our clients often have a vision, one they've populated Pinterest boards with, lost sleep from, and modified several times over as their own desires and interests evolve. More often than not, What's missing is the ability to tie all these concepts together into something that's cohesive, exciting, rewarding, and affordable! this is where we come in. Our experience with the design process allows us to extract the similarities amongst all your ideas and present to you, through multiple digital mediums, a complete picture of what can be done. our goal is to instill a level of confidence within you that leaves no doubt you've made the right decisions.
We look forward to an opportunity to take this journey with you.
