I have the coolest job of all. I get to work with our clients and explore ideas with them. Then I get to put together the best team to develop those ideas, discover creative solutions and express them through architecture. I’ve enjoyed all of our projects, but your first always has a special place in your heart. We completed the Logan Canyon house over 20 years ago for a young family building their dream home in Cache Valley. Our families and the house have grown up together in many ways.

As founding partner and principal at Lloyd Architects, Warren’s vision has led to a design-oriented practice with a diverse staff of architects and designers. He and his team create highly crafted residential and commercial/hospitality projects in mountain settings and urban centers. Warren has completed many adaptive reuse projects and has developed expertise in historic tax credit work for qualifying historic buildings. His award winning residential projects are widely known for their site sensitivity, quality of materials, and light. Warren’s commitment to architecture and design are evident in his community service and leadership. He currently serves as the National Chair of the American Institute of Architects CRAN (Custom Residential Architects Network) Knowledge Community. He has also served as a director of AIA Utah, and was a founding director for the Utah Center for Architecture. He both served on and chaired the Salt Lake City Historic Landmarks Commission during a critical time for preservation in historic neighborhoods. He’s a registered architect in Utah, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico. Warren is the son of an architect who grew up watching stories take shape in buildings. His passion for architecture deepened in the Pacific Northwest, where he became aware of the relationship between nature and the built environment. As a Monbusho scholar at Kobe University in Japan, Warren explored spatial patterns in traditional Japanese architecture. These early experiences informed his approach to design, and continue to guide his site-specific response to each landscape and the human conditions that shape it. While in graduate school at the University of Washington, Warren interned at The Miller-Hull Partnership and NBBJ in Seattle. After graduating, he worked for noted Northwest residential architect, Tom Bosworth, FAIA.

First and foremost, Warren is a committed husband and father. In addition to raising his own three children, he and his wife welcomed teenagers into their home through the Refugee Foster Care Program operated by Catholic Community Services of Utah. Warren served for several years on the Board of Trustees for the House of Hope in Salt Lake City. In his limited free time, he’s an intermittent back country skier and Lotoja cyclist, and he will always make time to share a good meal with family and friends.
