FRANCK & LOHSEN ARCHITECTS - Key Persons
Since 1995, much of Arthur Lohsen's experience as an architect has been spent working with historic buildings and within historic districts. As a founding partner of Franck & Lohsen Architects, he supervises the firm's project management, construction documentation, specification writing, and construction administration services.
Lohsen has a particular skill in integrating new technologies into the practice of architecture, both in the production of architectural designs and in the construction of cutting-edge projects. He continually evaluates new methods and products, seeking ones that can deliver higher quality and better value to Franck & Lohsen's clients.
Establishing his career in 1993, Michael Franck has consistently put his expertise to use in delivering world-class traditional design. Since founding Franck & Lohsen Architects, he has earned distinction for his timeless and elegant designs, often with buildings or regions that are highly sensitive to their historic nature.
Franck has a particular talent for sketching, and keeps a design sketchbook for each project. In meetings with clients and the team, he can rapidly depict differing proposals as three-dimensional drawings, thus ensuring that everyone understands each facet of the project before proceeding to the next step.
Knowing that an exquisite, thoughtful design does not automatically come to fruition simply because the project moves into the building phase, Franck takes a hands-on approach. He monitors the construction process to verify that it faithfully maintains the design intent.
