About

LDA Partners is a design firm specializing in creative problem solving and innovative community building for our clients. We believe that making a difference in the built environment through the creation of exceptional spaces in turn makes a difference for each community we serve. Over the past four decades, LDA Partners’ reach has expanded throughout the state of California and the western U.S. Diversity, creativity and sustainability are the mainstays of our practice and are illustrated through our extensive work in the community, commercial, education, transportation, healthcare and institutional markets. As LDA Partners continues to grow, our mission remains the same: to help our clients build community, creating places for people to come together and create strong connections.

Since its inception in 1979, LDA Partners has delivered full-service architecture, construction administration and land planning services to clients in both the public and private sectors. In addition to our core services, we offer a variety of planning and consulting expertise in the areas of master planning and sustainability. LDA Partners supports our clients throughout the planning, design and building process. Our approach effectively blends function, life-cycle costing, and aesthetics to satisfy complex program requirements.

We are, and always have been, driven by providing our clients with environmentally conscious design and guidance. Our sustainable design approach is complementary to our client’s vision and is holistically viewed within the context of both the building and the people within it. Whether or not LEED certification is the goal, we provide environmentally prudent design options that balance initial investment with maintenance and replacement costs, while focusing on the health and wellness of the end users.
