Leading one of the country’s most prolific mass timber design studios, Steve pioneered using this
carbon-reducing material in large-scale structures.
Steve, an architect and Design Leader in DLR Group’s Chicago office, has been the Principal in
Charge of the design of more than 1 million square feet of completed mass timber buildings.
Steve has also co-authored a research paper with a grant from the USDA/USF to study mass timber
application to hotel projects. This 144-page, open-source document will help eliminate barriers to
adoption of mass timber structures in more building types.
