How LUCE et Studio Architects Blends Story, Architecture, and Materials to Build Things That Matter
Jennifer Luce, founder of LUCE et Studio Architects, has always been drawn to the workshop-atelier model that values conversation, collaboration, and design. And it shows in both her work and her working relationships. With a rich family history in textile design and production, Luce’s design signature of using metals as story-bearing media has further burnished her firm's reputation for buildings that are resolutely modern and dependent on a high level of craft.
