Loryn Lewis, CPHD

Loryn, a Colorado native, has returned to her Rocky Mountain roots after nearly a decade in San Francisco, where she honed her skills in high-end custom residential architecture. Her design approach is deeply influenced by her passion for hands-on craftsmanship, a foundation she built while working at an award-winning metal fabrication firm after graduating from the University of Colorado. This dedication to making extends to her personal life—she and her partner designed and constructed their own off-grid cabin in upstate New York.

As a project manager, Loryn thrives in collaboration with artisans and craftspeople, forming high-performance teams that deliver thoughtfully crafted architecture. Passive House certified and actively pursuing her architectural license, Loryn is committed to creating sustainable and innovative designs that harmonize with their environment.

Beyond the office, Loryn and her husband stay busy renovating their historic Denver home while keeping up with their energetic toddler. A passionate traveler, she seeks inspiration from architecture and culture worldwide, from Tadao Ando’s and James Turrell’s masterpieces in Japan to Luis Barragán’s and David Chipperfield’s works in Mexico City. Her love for architecture even extends to her dog, named “Le Corbusier” after a memorable visit to Villa Savoye near Paris.

Despite the demands of motherhood, Loryn remains an active member of her book club and golf league, balancing her love of design, adventure, and community with grace and enthusiasm.
