Ted Lampa

Ted designs responsive solutions that shape the urban environment in positive ways. With over ten years of experience working on residential, recreational and hospitality projects in New York City and Chicago, he focuses on the user's experience, seeking to enhance what makes a comfortable and beautiful home or workplace.

Even when Ted was little he loved figuring out how to make spaces work better, even to disassembling and reassembling his sister's modular Barbie house to discover the most aesthetic and efficient layout. He had always wanted to be an architect, and realized his dream when he achieved bachelor's and master's degrees in architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Growing up outside Chicago, Ted loved the heights of skyscrapers and the dynamism of public spaces—his enthusiastic engagement with the urban environment currently supports the project team for 77 Greenwich Street, a new, forty-story, mixed-use tower in Manhattan's Financial District, and contributed to the success of previous projects such as 888 Boyston Street in Boston and The Greenwich Lane in New York's West Village. With the advent of new technologies, Ted looks to develop ever more forward-thinking buildings that push the boundaries of form and sustainability—always keeping the people who call the buildings home at the heart of the design.
