Chris is an architect and planner who strives to successfully bridge the two disciplines. His expertise is in taking his architectural-scale experience and knowledge of building types and using it to shape his approach to planning projects. This skill has made him a leader in the exploration of innovative urban building types and sustainability communities from building to city-wide scales. His experience working with both private and public sector clients has enabled him to gain a strong understanding of the key issues for successful project implementation from the builder’s, developer’s, and local jurisdiction’s perspective. Prior to joining LRK, Chris worked in several of the early New Urbanist communities under Scott Merrill and developed an expertise in Missing Middle Housing and Form-Based Coding with Opticos Design. During his time with Opticos Design, he led many of the small firm’s architectural projects and nationally recognized award-winning projects including the Daybreak Mews Homes, the Seaside Town Square and Beachfront Master Plan, Richmond Livable Corridors Initiative, and the Akanda SmartCode.
