Founded in 2000 by Gary Livermore, a dually licensed architect and structural engineer, LAE has made a mark both in Oregon and throughout the United States as an effective commercial and industrial building designer. Gary’s commitment to both architecture and structural engineering is reflected in the firm’s integrated design approach. At LAE we view the practice of architecture and structural engineering as a complete and cohesive enterprise – we are tasked with creating a design that satisfies hundreds of project requirements, meets the client’s needs and budget, is constructible, is good for the environment, and contributes value to the users and the community at large. We love to work with the entire design team to put the puzzle pieces together into the best solution for the client. Design is an art as well as a science, and we strive to turn a clear vision into a completed project. Although located in the heart of Portland, Oregon, LAE possesses licensure in jurisdictions across the country and is well-versed when it comes to designing from afar. Our commitment to careful coordination is evident in our use of technology and travel to bridge gaps and ensure communication remains fluid through a project’s development. We work on large and small projects and are committed to providing the best service possible.
