When Peter Landon founded Landon Architects in 1987, he was on the front line of social change. Rather than focusing on high-end homes, he intended to design housing for segments of the population generally overlooked-individuals and families whose economic status dictate their lifestyles and surroundings, and who generally don't have the luxury of choice.

Together, we have built and renovated over 175 units of affordable housing in Humboldt Park.
This belief has guided our practice for over 30 years. As gentrification in Chicago swept northwest and pushed affordability southwest, the goal of providing architecturally significant, yet affordable options to as many people as possible expanded.

Team of experts lead by world class architectural standards with eye for perfection and fine details. We had 2 projects successfully completed with the Landon Bone Baker and we are just staring on a third. My entire organization is very excited by proposed plan and schedule and we can’t wait to see results this time around.
