Stull and Lee Architects and Planners

Stull and Lee is a Boston architecture, urban design and planning firm founded in 1966. Its work spans multi-family housing, schools and health care buildings, offices, retail and manufacturing facilities, along with highway infrastructure and transit stations. A large share of the practice involves institutional master planning and large-scale urban design commissions around the country. The firm says it avoids applying stock solutions from research or past projects, aiming for fresh designs that respect each client’s needs.

The firm was established by the late Donald L. Stull, an African American pioneer in architecture, a Harvard Graduate School of Design graduate and a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. M. David Lee now leads the practice. Lee, also an AIA Fellow and a past president of the Boston Society of Architects, has taught at Harvard, MIT and RISD and has worked on projects from post-Katrina recovery in New Orleans to Boston’s Turnpike air rights.
