pla | Phillip Lehn Architect

pla | Phillip Lehn Architect, LEED AP has provided professional environmental design and construction services for a large range of public and private projects for more than 40 years. Soon after the Commonwealth of Massachusetts first licensed him to practice architecture, he was asked to form and lead a team of scientists and engineers to design, propose and win a zoning variance for what may have been the nation's first public solar heated and cooled building and became an early advocate of safe, clean and renewable energy, renewable resource conservation, nonrenewable resource preservation and healthy, joyful, and sustainable buildings and communities. Inspired by great teachers, he evolved a minimalist design philosophy with works distinguished as practical, economic, innovative, sustainable and beautiful. Currently based in Edmonds ~ 20 miles north of Seattle, he's helped realize projects in New England, New York, Florida, California, the Pacific Northwest, Taiwan and India. Some of his more notable projects are listed below and to learn more about his personal and professional journey, see the current edition of "memorable steps".
