"Steve is my mentor in the office. I call him Papa Bear most of the time because of his warm and cuddly nature. Just don't ask if you can borrow his Chap Stick....then he gets all uncomfortable and starts to growl. Oh! and he's a great architect, too." -Chris Krajcer Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario Years at LF: 8+ Current Project: Austin New Central Library Favorite LF Project: Pappas Residence (unbuilt) Achilles Heel: German Automobiles Happiest Place: At one of my kids baseball games / swim meets or fishing on a quiet river Memorable Book: Gyroscopic Horizons Prized Possession: Architectural...

“One of the most enjoyable aspects of working on any project is the opportunity to collaborate with skilled craftsmen and artisans. This is where detail visions come to life and are made, changed, and often remade, into real things, often not even components that are seen yet are required to execute a detail. When budgets allow, these fabrications are limited only by imagination and can range from custom steel doors, decorative railings, kitchen vent hood surrounds, cabinetry and door hardware, one-of-a-kind bath accessories and fixtures, furniture, decorative cladding; essentially any metal...
Welcome Robert Amedeo, our newest addition to the L|F family! An Austin native, Robert is joining us as a student intern and has already impressed us with his Revit skills. Robert recently completed his BS in Architecture from University of Texas at San Antonio. His favorite L|F projects are the Pearl Brewery/Full Goods and ASU Polytechnic Academic Buildings. Robert exemplifies the true All-American Boy, spending his free time playing or watching sports, working on his car and enjoying a good beer. Cheers!
Say hello to our newest sustainability intern, Uma Patwardhan! Uma joins us most recently from Pittsburgh, but she grew up in Mumbai, India. She received her Masters in Sustainable Design from Carnegie Mellon University, and her Bachelor of Architecture in India. Uma has jumped right in and is working on multiple projects for Lake|Flato. When she's not in the office, Uma can be found fueling her creative side through photography and pottery. Welcome, Uma!
Say hello to Sierra Haight, who will be in charge of Communications (marketing and public relations) here at Lake|Flato. She is joining us with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Washington State University. Her favorite Lake|Flato project is Armstrong Oil & Gas for its adaptive reuse and open air roof terrace. At heart and by nature, she is a country girl - she used to raise alpacas! Please give her a big Texas welcome! We are thrilled to have her.
"Philip Chan may hate 'Filled Regions' but loves helping people with their Revit projects! Philip is quick to jump on any issue people may present – he's goes the extra mile to make sure Revit users are on track and able to actualize their design intentions. He won't hold back a disappointing glare and sigh when he sees the mess you've made of your Revit project, but he will sit down and spend the time to help you sort it out. Philip has brought an expertise in digital design to our office that is invaluable – Thanks Philip!" - Rebecca Bruce Hometown: Hong Kong Years at LF: 13 Months Current...
Give a howdy to Kerry Phillips , who is joining us from SRG in Portland, Oregon to work on Georgia Tech's Engineered Biosystems Building. She graduated from Virginia Tech's 5-year master's program. Her favorite Lake|Flato project is Hill Country Jacal in Pipe Creek because of its beauty, simplicity, and honesty - just how she wants to live and design! In her spare time, she loves to have long-labored walks through the wilderness with everything she needs on her back. Welcome!
Cameron Smith and Erica Goranson have some great news! They have both added a few letters to the end of their name. Cameron passed her LEED exam and is now accredited for LEED AP BD+C. And, Erica passed her exam to become a licensed architect. Congratulations, Lake|Flatonians!
Say hello to our newest interns, Oliver Adamson and Patrick Burnham ! Patrick graduated from the University of Houston in Texas where he grew up. Apparently indecisive, his favorite Lake|Flato project is "all of them" but he is destined to be "the" Georgia Tech intern. Furniture-making and cooking are two great skills of his - you are sure to be in comfort when invited over! Oliver comes to us from Bristol, UK and attended Brighton University. He's currently helping with residential and his greatest L|F love lies with Story Pool House. Oliver has already developed an appreciation for Mexican...
