Associate | Project Architect, Perkins & Will
Dahmahlee Lawrence is a registered architect practicing in New York City. Throughout her career, she has worked on various project typologies. Ranging from high-end fitness/wellness centers, educational facilities, broadcast journalism studio, workplace tenant fit-outs’; affordable housing, and luxury condominiums. She believes that the architects must design for all members of society, regardless of socio-economic background. While many in the design community are well aware of the quotes of various architects the one that stands out the most with Dahmahlee is from Charles Eames, “The details are not the details. They make the design.”
As an architect, she has channeled her career towards the technical aspect of drawing, detailing, and construction administration to facilitate and execute the design. This comes from Dahmahlee’s understanding and belief that an unambiguous and well-executed design can be the most powerful way to impact the user and the environment.
