Philosophy: "Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership

stands at the intersection of architecture and interpretation. Here, giving form and imparting meaning become one objective, one vision, and one of the surest paths to superior design. It's an uncommon idea with powerful applications." "LHSA + DP unearths the idea, the mission that lies at the heart of every project--whether it is a home, a place of worship or a museum--and incorporates that idea into every single decision, every last detail, from concept to construction."
