LOHA: Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects

Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, also known as LOHA, was founded in 1994 by Lorcan O’Herlihy and in the years since has become a multi award-winning architecture firm made up of twenty five talented individuals. Lorcan O’Herlihy holds his firm together with a strong vision for what architecture should be and is full of passion, expertise, and hands-on experience. He leads his team with a collaborative approach that encourages creativity and a self-starter attitude among his staff.

LOHA understands that architecture is about far more than erecting beautiful structures and buildings. Architecture exists in a complex world and is often seen through the complex lens of political, developmental, environmental, and social structures. This can both serve and hinder architects as they design, plan, and construct. By carefully using these contexts to their advantage, LOHA is able to better serve the human condition and experience and leave a positive legacy behind.

LOHA has worked in many sectors and has an adaptable and innovative approach for each client. The firm has worked on art galleries, large scale neighborhood plans, supportive housing, university dorm complexes, and even bus shelters. This wide range of projects and sectors demonstrates clearly the versatility and skill of the team at LOHA. No matter which project LOHA is taking on, they demonstrate the same level of commitment, innovation, and customer care.

Operating in offices in both Los Angeles and Detroit, LOHA has a good understanding of the different needs of businesses and communities across the United States. This allows the firm to offer a tailored service and a deep commitment to each project. The passion displayed by the team at LOHA ensures that local communities and businesses build strong relationships with the firm that last far beyond the duration of the project.
