Lori founded LSH Architects to focus on high-quality residential design—custom homes, transformative renovations, and home expansions for clients who value creativity and a modern aesthetic. Her work is distinguished by warm modernism: spaces defined by natural light, elegant materials, and seamless connections between indoors and out. Each project is shaped around the lives of its inhabitants, balancing elevated design with comfort, function, and longevity.

Lori earned her Master of Architecture degree at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and her undergraduate degree from Barnard College, Columbia University. She began her career at Charles Rose Architects in Cambridge, Massachusetts, serving as project architect on award-winning custom homes and institutional work. This early experience formed the foundation of her practice—a blend of conceptual artistry, technical precision, and disciplined design process that continues to guide every project.

Born in South Korea and raised in New York City, Lori brings a multicultural lens to her work—blending Asian sensibility, urban discipline, and the openness of California modernism. Based on the San Francisco Peninsula since founding her practice, she has spent much of her career designing homes defined by expressive forms, flowing geometries, and light-filled modern spaces.
