STRATEGIC EXPANSION

LS3P has grown from a one-man office into a thriving firm with over 450 employees across twelve offices in four states. A series of strategic mergers over the years has greatly expanded the firm’s portfolio, expertise, and geographic reach. A 1999 merger with TBA2 Associates LLC of Charlotte, NC established the firm’s first North Carolina office while incorporating TBA2’s significant experience with mixed-use environments. In 2005, LS3P merged with Boney Architects, a highly respected North Carolina firm with offices in Wilmington and Raleigh specializing in K-12 designs. In 2022, LS3P merged with two additional North Carolina firms: TFF Architects & Planners, LLP of Greensboro, NC and PFA Architects, P.A., of Asheville, NC. The mergers expand LS3P’s footprint in NC’s Triad and Western, NC while capitalizing on existing partnerships with highly respected colleagues.
