About
I offer a wide range of services ( feasibility studies, site evaluation. Architectural design and permitting) for residential new construction, additions, remodels, apartment buildings and small commercial work. I specialize in town home developments, "mother in law" and daycare projects. I consider myself an expert in code interpretation and obtaining permits. Every client and every project is unique and I most enjoy helping people get more than they hoped for from their project. I have no set design style and work hard to include the client in the process.

Hired on Thumbtack

Lawrence saved us after a negative experience with another architect! We are adding an attached garage with a room over the top, two upstairs bathrooms, new kitchen, raising the roof and adding a dormer to augment our view, and taking out the interior chimney to open up the stair case . . . on a Tudor house that was built in 1928--not an easy project. The plans are creative and lovely, and we had no problem getting a building permit. Lawrence is prompt, patient, and really listens. Will post photos of the finished remodel when we're done.

We worked with Lawrence in the planning of our mother in law garage apartment and found him to be a great listener, detail-oriented, and very responsive to our design ideas. I would definitely recommend him!

Hired on Thumbtack

Lawrence is an engaged and thoughtful architect and took the time to become familiar with us and the site before he started to bring us a few proposals and then refine the pieces out of each and pieces drawn freehand on the fly. He was able to help us locate some of the preliminary professionals (survey, engineering, etc.) so that the work was well defined by the time the contractors made bids- detailed blueprints eliminate ambiguity when comparing bids and Lawrence put that sort of package together and then supported getting it blessed through several rounds of "oh- one more thing" from the city during the permitting process. Persistent and professional.

We hired Lawrence to help with numerous design components(new structures, remodeling existing and planning for future projects) and we had numerous issues that required not only a high level of technical competence , but also a lot of creativity to meet the aesthetics we were looking for. Lawrence met each of our needs in aces. Every inspector passed the work with flying colors. We love the improvements we made in our expansion and it has made our old house shine with new beauty. For me, finding an Architect who understands the aesthetics I am looking for is the number one most important element. As remodel or building a new structure can be a stressful event , working with someone as charming and fun as Lawrence was an added bonus. I would highly recommend Lawrence. He went above and beyond our dreams and gets my highest praise. Tara Katz

Lawrence Houston assisted Fremont Community School with planning and designing new construction and also remodeling of an existing home. He resolved challenging issues which required balancing structural integrity with aesthetic outcomes. Lawrence carefully guided us through the process and effectively worked with the City's Planning Department to find solutions which were both cost effective and also met our functional needs. Lawrence is patient and easy to work with, listens well and diplomatically outlines issues with a variety of approaches. He is creative with his ideas, responsive to our needs and watches out for our “best” interests. Teresa Donovan, School Administrator
