Exceptional Homes. Designed and Engineered as One.
Integrated Architecture & Engineering for Custom Estates, Mountain Homes, Ranch Properties and Destination Residences
Architecture, structural engineering, civil engineering, and MEP coordinated under one team, from the earliest site decisions through construction documents.

One Vision. One Coordinated Design Team.
Exceptional homes require more than exceptional architecture.
On complex properties, the architecture affects the structure. The structure affects the glazing, roof systems and foundations. The site affects access, drainage, utilities and retaining systems. Mechanical and electrical systems affect how the property ultimately performs.
LC Designs coordinates these disciplines from the beginning.
- Architecture (Programming, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents)
- Structural (Long spans, Heavy Timber, Steel Systems, Foundations, Snow/wind/seismic)
- Civil (Site Planning, Grading, Drainage, Road/Aceess, Water/Utilities)
- MEP (Mechanical Systems, Electrical, Plumbing, Backup Power, Smart Controls)
Mountain Properties Demand More
The property often determines the engineering long before the architecture is complete.
Mountain estates can require careful coordination of:
- steep or difficult terrain
- snow and wind loading
- long-span roof and glazing systems
- complex foundations
- retaining walls
- driveway and emergency access
- site drainage
- water supply and storage
- well and septic systems
- electrical service and backup power
- mechanical performance at altitude
- wildfire considerations
We address those issues as part of the design—not after the architecture is finished.
Before We Design the House, We Understand the Property
The best estate design begins with understanding what the property will allow—and what it will demand.
Before major design decisions are made, our team can evaluate:
Site placement · Views and orientation · Topography · Access · Grading · Drainage · Foundations · Utilities · Water · Wastewater · Snow · Wind · Seismic conditions · Infrastructure
