Adam Lanman, AIA, is the founder of Atelier aL, a design-forward architecture studio based in Oklahoma. His work focuses on environmentally responsible, small-scale architecture rooted in context, material clarity, and long-term value. With degrees in biology and architecture, Lanman brings an interdisciplinary lens to each project—balancing ecological thinking with careful craft and formal restraint. His practice spans residential, civic, and public interest design, and has been recognized with AIA design awards and features in PLAIN Magazine, Dwell, and 405 Magazine.
Lanman’s approach is shaped by direct study with architects known for regional and climate-based design. These early influences continue to inform a practice committed to designs that respond quietly and durably to their site and community. He also teaches university-level design studios and workshops focused on sustainability and regionalism, exploring how architecture can serve as both a physical and cultural anchor.
