Lake|Flato fosters a collaborative open studio environment that leverages each person’s passion and unique talents to develop common ownership of award winning design. FlakeNet, the office intranet wiki, helps connect the office community and disseminate technical, professional and personal information. Staff of all levels of experience share responsibility to strengthen the firm through work groups known as Beams. As architects, teachers, environmental stewards and community advocates, Lake|Flato seeks to foster the education of the next generation of architects.
The life of Lake|Flato extends beyond its walls with members riding together on The 3rd Street Grackles, our office bicycle team, or participating in weekly bowling or poker leagues. But the spirit of the firm is best exemplified by Flake|Lato Weekend. For over twenty five years, members of the firm and their families have gathered at Kickapoo Ranch in West Texas for a weekend of swimming, fishing, camping and mountain biking that celebrates our shared love of the outdoors and our unique community.
