Since its founding in San Antonio in 1984, Lake|Flato has designed buildings that respond to the culture and climate of each unique place. To support its mission to create environments that enrich communities and nurture life, the firm employs an honest and artful approach to design that places the human experience and natural environment at the center of the design process. In collaboration with clients and communities, Lake|Flato creates buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible, artful and crafted.
The firm’s design evolves from an appreciation for pragmatic solutions to vernacular architecture, the honesty of modernism, and the context of rich and varied landscapes. By employing sustainable strategies in a wide variety of building types and scales, Lake|Flato designs architecture that conserves energy and natural resources while creating high performance buildings. The firm’s industry-leading 15 AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten Awards (the highest recognition for sustainable design in the U.S.), a recently certified Living Building and numerous LEED Platinum and Gold certified projects attest to the firm’s passion for an architecture that thoughtfully engages and enhances its place.
