Lincoln Lighthill Architect is a full-service architectural firm based in Mill Valley, just North of San Francisco where the firm was founded in 2015. We’ve completed work in the U.S. and internationally, designing a wide range of residential, commercial, arts, institutional, and food service projects.

We design remodels, tenant improvements, and new construction, helping individuals, families, and organizations build buildings and relationships. A construction project is a journey we take together, and the final product can only be as successful as the foundations we build before the shovels hit the dirt. We work hard to earn your trust and to leverage the trust we’ve built with other industry professionals to ensure a successful outcome.

We deal in big ideas and almost inscrutable minutia, which taken together allow us to create something for you that is greater than the sum of its parts, and almost always beyond what anyone could have imagined when we started. We use the creative process of architecture to harness the possibilities present in every challenge and turn obstacles into opportunities. Sustainability is central to our work and a prime example of how problems can be leveraged to improve a project’s form, function, and user experience while protecting the environment.

To ensure all goes as planned, we provide full architectural services, from due diligence and conceptual design to permitting, construction documents, and construction observation, working hand in hand with consultants, builders, and makers to achieve the desired result. We are always looking for new partnerships and better ways to get projects done on time and budget. The adage that good design is good business informs everything we do at LLA.
