Our Values

GREAT DESIGN

Great design is not only important to us, it’s our passion. We strive for design solutions that are beautiful, functional, durable, and sustainable. We want to improve the world one building at a time — through new construction that’s both cutting edge and timeless, and through rehabilitation and renovation of existing structures. From commercial build-outs to family homes, good design is good business.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is vitally important at Lark. Our team includes LEED accredited profesionals, green design gurus, and countless consultants committed to our cause. We incorporate sustainable practices not only through traditional metrics, such as LEED and EnergyStar, but through design solutions and construction methods that are meant to last generations.

YOU!

Our clients are our number one priority. You’re the reason we can do what we love every day. We aim to deliver a project that meets and exceeds your goals — prioritizing your aesthetics, your schedule, and your budget. And we try to have a little fun along the way!

"Very conscious of cost and how to make the most of what we wanted" - Amy Freshwater
I got to know Jessica of Lark Architecture through our builder. We depended on her to make sure the many details of our home’s construction were done correctly and efficiently. She didn’t hesitate to give her opinion on many facets of our construction from wall placement, room size, appliance selection, countertops, cabinets, fixture sizes and finishes and so much more. When we had questions, she offered to get on the phone or come by with drawings of her visions. She was also very conscious of cost and how to make the most of what we wanted, recommending when we should spend more and when we should cut back. I would recommend Jessica for both architecture or interior design.
