Chris Lutjen
LEED AP BD+C, Architect
Although a transplant from Ohio, being here ten plus years I now consider California home. I absolutely love the access to the beautiful forests, mountains, ocean, and varied urban spaces in the Bay area. Being inspired by sustainability and the craft of historic buildings brought me to architecture and ELS. I am happy to be here!
