About LNB
LNB Studio is a St. Louis-based architecture, interior design and planning firm that specializes in transforming the way people experience and interact with their spaces. LNB has a collaborative and distinctive approach that goes beyond a client’s needs and aesthetics to develop creative and custom responses for each unique project.
In 1991, Laura Neri Baebler formed Laura Neri Baebler Architect PC to better serve her clients with a personal approach. Building on this principle, LNB evolved from a sole-proprietorship serving mostly residential and light commercial clients with remodels and additions into LNB Studio, Architecture & Interiors, an experienced and diverse team of planners, architects and designers. LNB Studio specializes in renovations, adaptive re-use and new construction. LNB continues to work in a variety of markets including education, healthcare, hospitality/retail, government, industrial, religious, residential and workplace with projects in more than 34 Missouri municipalities.
