Warren Lloyd
AIA

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, Warren interned at The Miller-Hull Partnership and NBBJ in Seattle. After graduating, he worked a few years for noted residential architect Tom Bosworth, FAIA. Since returning to Utah and joining Lloyd Architects as a managing partner and principal in 2000, Warren has developed a design-oriented practice with a diverse staff of young architects. He and his team have built successful residential and commercial projects in mountain settings and urban centers from the Wasatch Front to the Pacific Northwest. Warren’s commitment to architecture and design are evident in his community service and leadership. He both served on and chaired the Salt Lake City Historic Landmarks Commission during a critical time for preservation in historic neighborhoods. He has also served as a director of AIA Utah, is currently on the board of directors for the Utah Center for Architecture and serves as a member of the National Advisory Group for AIA CRAN (American Institute of Architects Custom Residential Architects Network). He’s a registered architect in Utah and Washington.
