Multiple parameters are pulled into one single architectural concept and developed into a constructible solution. Discovering needs, challenging ideas, and crafting solutions is what we do. Design, Communication, Environment, Technology, and Economics are all integrated into a high level of specialized services and put to work for the benefit of our clients.
Company History
Lyman Davidson Dooley, Inc. (LDD), a Georgia corporation, was established August 1, 1988 as a result of the desire of its two Principals, Steven G. Lyman AIA, NCARB and Rowland Davidson, AIA, ASID, to challenge their professional abilities in quality, service and design.
In 1994, the Nashville, Tennessee office opened and a new partner joined the team. The company’s name changed to its current name, Lyman Davidson Dooley, Inc. Two years later, LDD expanded into the Tampa market. Today, LDD employs 30 professionals and administrative support staff companywide. We are organized in a studio structure with design teams focusing on specific construction markets that include: Church, Corporate, Education, Government, Healthcare, Industrial/Parking, Mixed-Use, Recreation, and Retail. Each Studio is led by a Studio Director who guides the team throughout the design process and brings exceptional experience and expertise in their specific area of design.
