Julia M Leeming, AIA LEED AP

Raised in the US Foreign Service, I grew up traveling and learned to adapt to and appreciate unfamiliar surroundings.  Urban contexts, building types and materials, and ambient sounds and smells were always shifting and I developed a flexibility in how I think about space and design problems. 

After receiving a Masters Degree in Architecture from Yale University in 2006, I worked for six years at Sage and Coombe Architects in New York City.  I had the privilege of outstanding mentors and exposure to a wide range of projects from conceptual design to construction completion.  In 2013 I began my own Architectural practice in Stonington, Connecticut.

In my work I aim for simple, elegant design solutions that combine function and beauty.  I gravitate toward natural materials and their inherent tones and textures.  I am drawn to daylight and how it can enhance a space and interact with pattern and color.  I strive to foster meaningful connections to the exterior landscape. 

I am a LEED Accredited Professional and hold licenses to practice Architecture in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
