Debra B Lennox AIA

Debra Beck Lennox’s architectural philosophy is to create a balance between the client’s needs, the context of the site, and the value of the built environment on the community. She has lived & practiced on the Mendocino coast for over half of her life. “I respect the environment and quality development of carefully considered built form. My work reflects an understanding of the most sustainable way of creating space that encourages the users to appreciate the gift of living here in this pristine place. I would describe my work as “Mindful Placemaking”. Debra’s practice focuses prim arily on residential buildings. Her additions and remodels complement the existing forms and materials, but utilize the most recent available materials to create a “green solution” to a client’s program. Accessibility is featured as aging-in-place becomes a common concept that encourages a sustainable lifestyle. Collaboration with the clients & contractors is unique to her business model. It is critical to maintain clear communication to best utilize the resources and skill needed to create a successful project.
