Our mission is to provide innovative, responsive design - coupled with cutting-edge technological expertise and exceptional service - to our clients.
Purpose
Lord Aeck Sargent (LAS) is a full-service, award-winning architectural and design firm with more than 3,000 projects completed. Across its six offices and eight practice areas, LAS’ mission is to provide responsive design, technological expertise and exceptional service to create the best possible facilities and places that will serve their users and inhabitants well into the future.
Vision
LAS approaches all design projects through the lens of responsive design—a process for collaboratively designing holistic solutions that respond to context, program, site and budget in imaginative and poetic ways. LAS believes that thoughtful, integrated and creative design helps create uniqueness of place while solving the problems of today and tomorrow. LAS thrives on complex projects that require elegant and enduring solutions.
Mission
Through its work on projects across the country, LAS is helping to advance communities, preserve landmarks and push the boundaries of architecture and design. Its performance, however, is defined by more than numbers, projects or advancements. For decades, LAS has prioritized ecologically sensitive architecture that has a restorative, positive impact on the building's inhabitants and the environment. Sustainability has been a guidepost for nearly every LAS project since the 1990s, resulting in many high performance and even regenerative facilities.
Additional Culture Details
LAS’ performance in housing & mixed use, historic preservation, higher education, science, urban design and planning, and other life and community-transforming projects speaks for itself. The firm’s commitment to sustainable, equitable design and operations benefits those who will interact with its spaces over time. LAS strives to be impactful practitioners in a field that deeply craves creative leadership by designing spaces that better their communities, cities and world. Its commitment to creating spaces where people thrive is internal as well. From biking to work, where showers are available, to using recycled notebooks from old blueprints, the Atlanta team embodies its sustainability mission. The firm is also Just certified, a voluntary disclosure of business policies and practices as a vehicle for positive social change.
