Vision, Content, and Detail Grounded in Theory and Creative Invention.

At Stull and Lee we approach each project with the understanding that architecture and urban design require not only creativity, but also practicality, responsibility and organization. We avoid the direct application of stored solutions, whether found via research or in our past work. While the importance of experience must not be denied, its proper role is to inform the creative process of design and not simply to offer a palette of past options from which to choose Equally important to our design approach, is the inclusion of the client throughout the design process. In each project, we strive for design solutions that are uniquely responsive to time and place.
