Searl Lamaster Howe is a custom architecture and interior design studio renowned for its collaborative spirit, design innovation, and commitment to excellence. Our philosophy transcends trends, focusing instead on the principles of craftsmanship and timeless design; each project tells its own story. We work closely with our clients to ensure their visions are not just realized but elevated.
We strive to create spaces that enrich lives, seamlessly blending functionality, aesthetic beauty, and environmental sensitivity. Taking a holistic approach, we can provide both architecture and interior design services. Each project has a team directly engaged at every step of the design and construction process, from initial programming to move-in. The firm’s portfolio spans new construction to renovations; from residential to commercial to institutional.
As a certified woman-owned enterprise, we are committed to fostering a dynamic and inclusive studio culture. We are a diverse group of talented architects and designers who bring passion, expertise, and distinct perspectives to each project. Every voice at the table is heard and valued, especially those of our clients.
