The Artful Use of Structure

Raising Design Standards

Structure should enhance, not limit design. Our structures division is engaged by architects and building design teams that are looking for a higher level of service than the typical engineering firm, and want to raise the bar in both the aesthetics and efficiency of their projects.

Our structures division is engaged early by partners—often during schematic design—to investigate options and understand how different systems can help designers “bend the rules” and bring the most out of their project in regards to design, aesthetic, cost, function, and performance.

Team LB does our best work when designing a building’s structure and facade together. This allows the facade to be integrated within the building system, maximize efficiencies and unlock more elegant details.
