Austin-Smith:Lord has been delivering the highest degree of creative and practical thought in architecture since 1949. Our celebrated history has given rise to many buildings of national importance, and over 150 awards and commendations for outstanding architectural and environmental design. We’ve worked on over 2500 projects in that time, during which we have grown into and worked from no less than 21 buildings, calling on some 29 partners. We were founded by two people, Mike and Inette Austin-Smith. Today we number 13 partners and 240 employees across five locations nationwide and a sixth coming shortly in Abu Dhabi.
