Living Design Lab is a Baltimore design firm committed to design excellence and social responsibility. We specialize in architecture, interior design, planning and urban design.

At Living Design Lab, we aim to deliver projects that are successful by every measure. In all our work, we endeavor to find the “elegant solution,” designs that are resolved with simplicity, comprehensive yet without excess.  Our goal for every project is to balance the visionary with the pragmatic, in order to create places that are uplifting, functional, and efficient.

We know that every project is a significant investment with significant implications. With such high stakes and infinite possibilities, a project can be daunting for any client. Through a process of in-depth investigation rooted in careful observation, research, and analysis, we go beyond presuppositions to help clients define goals and make the best informed decisions. A successful project begins with a process that engages clients as active participants. We believe that good design emerges out of a collaborative process.  As such, we also recognize the value brought by strong multidisciplinary teams. Because of this, we are very selective in choosing teammates to ensure we can deliver the best service.

At Living Design Lab, every project is approached with the human experience in mind.  In the end, the built environment should be made to help people thrive, enabling them to be free from inefficiencies, dysfunction, dehumanization or alienation.  Places should promote happiness, community, collaboration, comfort, function, productivity and health.  From this philosophy, we endeavor to create a built environment that holds lasting significance.  This is the complete picture of sustainability, one in which the social and the economic is valued with the environmental.
