LPAS Architecture + Design

Full-service architecture, interior design, landscape

Overview

LPAS Architecture + Design provides architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture services for higher education, civic projects, multi-family housing, mixed-use, and commercial developments, including adaptive reuse of historic structures. It works through an integrated design process called Making Buildings Together, collaborating with clients from concept to completion across architecture, interior design, and planning services with a mid-sized team that can handle large projects. The firm differentiates itself with an owner-led, collaborative culture, long-term client relationships, and employee ownership, plus a proven track record in adaptive reuse and urban infill; the December 2025 partnership with Bluwatr adds technology and growth capital while leadership stays invested. Its goal is to grow presence in Northern California by delivering integrated, design-led solutions across education, civic, housing, and commercial sectors with strategic partnership support.
