Stephen Sefton
The son of a U.S. Navy Civil Engineer, Stephen grew up in many different cities. This nomadic lifestyle granted him an early awareness of what makes a place distinct. His experiences living coast-to-coast in the U.S. as well as abroad, fostered his recognition that a place’s climate, topography, and culture can be the genesis of great architecture.
Today, Stephen continues to explore and celebrate place and identity. By cultivating a design approach that begins with research, he leads teams to create buildings that nod to their unique locations and that heighten the singular qualities of their environments. In his role as Design Director, Stephen makes space for design talent to develop new ideas and creative expressions that respond to the changing needs of people and our planet.
