CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“LRS came to us as the Lead Architect and partner with the Development Team selected through an intensive design competition with firms from Oregon, Washington and California to design and construct the City of Hillsboro's proposed Civic Center. This project includes over 100,000 SF of office space, 120 housing units, two major public plazas with interactive fountains, and a mix of pedestrian-oriented retail to support the plaza as a destination for our citizens. Since then, their responsiveness and quality design work has won them follow-on contracts for tenant improvements, art installations, interactive tenant signage and incorporation of nearly a million dollars of audio-visual equipment into the facility. There is no doubt we are impressed with and satisfied by their work and their positive attitude. We look forward to working with them again on similarly complex projects.”
— Marion Hemphill, Director of Capital Planning & Development
City of Hillsboro, Oregon
“I would like to thank the LRS staff for all your hard work on Anthem Park at Uptown Village from the beginning. We have had many challenges, but the results speak for themselves. Anthem Park continues to receive acclaim for its innovative design and for its unique approach to Mixed-Use development. It will be a model for Mixed-Use development in Vancouver for some time to come.”
— Frank L' Amie, Housing Development Specialist

“Regarding adidas Village: we at adidas would like to thank the entire LRS team for your efforts on our behalf. Changing from a build-to-suit tenant to the Owner has added complexities to the project - not to mention the complexity having us as a client already entails. We appreciate your patience, hard work and support. Again, thank you.”

“Thank you for a job done perfectly. You designed exactly what Qsent needed. As the company was moving in, I did a walk through with our CEO who immediately liked the space but didn't know quite how to describe it or put words to it. I told him it is this: "Qsent Grown-Up". You designed a space that still has a hint of the Qsent techno-industrial look, but with a much more sophisticated, professional finish. We love it; it is a great office!”
— Jim Kemp, Marketing Director
Qsent

Thank you for your insight, diligence and patience

“One of the firm's strongest points is that they take into account the desires and needs of the Owner. They work very hard to meet the Owner’s budget requirements while producing the best possible product. LRS is a firm that works not only on the big picture but gets into the fine details and works with the construction team to assure that the buildings are watertight and low maintenance. To sum up, LRS makes it very easy to recommend them to any potential Owner, and I do so with confidence.”

“In our opinion, the LRS design teams have consistently shown the ability to incorporate all functional requirements for operational needs while keeping the projects aesthetically pleasing to end users. All of this is accomplished in an extremely competitive market and keeping the design in line with the project budget. I'm particularly impressed with LRS's "Team" attitude and with the positive attitude displayed during the value engineering process. I would unconditionally recommend LRS Architects design services to anyone.”

“LRS Architects was the Project Architect for a collaborative housing development between CNPH and the Vancouver Housing Authority. This was a very complex project, both from the financing and the development/zoning perspective. The size and configuration of the site required careful design consideration, and LRS produced a design that was compatible with the adjacent, predominantly single family neighborhood. They also successfully guided the master planned development through a difficult site plan approval process.”
— Richard Sample, Executive Director
Columbia Non-Profit Housing, Vancouver, WA
