overview PBC+L Architecture brings to each project the energy and enthusiasm of a young firm supported by the excellence and reputation of an established practice. Our office is centered around a studio model where the brightest young designers are encouraged to excel and to develop into exemplary professionals. In this setting, youth and idealism are balanced with the experience and pragmatism the firm principals willingly share. We are a medium sized firm by choice. A distinguishing characteristic of our firm is the level of direct involvement excercised by the firm principals. We believe that we have positioned ourselves to be large enough to provide a wide range of services to our clients yet small enough to remain fully involved in every aspect of our projects. By controlling our size, we have been able to preserve the organizational structure best suited to our practice: a flexible association of project focused teams rather than an organization of specialized departments. This allows us to maintain the dexterity associated with smaller firms while having the depth of resources of a larger practice to draw upon. Key among these resources is the availability of a respected second opinion. Our firm is not about developing a signature style. Through the process of studied investigation and dialogue, we develop an understanding of our clients, their priorities and their aspirations. We couple this understanding with a focused response to issues such as site and program, project budget, environmental sustainability, architectural image and appropriateness to the larger physical context. Through this process, we develop design solutions that capture the unique personality and identity of each project we undertake.		sustainability Pearce Brinkley Case + Lee is committed to advancing the practice of architecture by setting the standard for sustainable design excellence in the southeast. To date, we are responsible for the design of Carrington Hall at the University of North Carolina, the first building in the 16 campus University of North Carolina system to receive LEED certification. The entire Northern Wake campus for Wake Technical Community College has been designed to LEED standards and is the first all-LEED campus in North Carolina. Our objective is to design buildings that are fiscally sensitive, environmentally responsible and healthy places to live and work. We acheive this by designing buildings that consider sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, the materials and resources used and the resultant indoor environmental quality. Our efforts are beneficial in numerous ways for our clients and their communities. PBC+L was instrumental in founding the initial chapter of the USGBC in North Carolina. Firm Principals are active members of the organization. Currently, we have 15 LEED accredited professionals on staff.
