Lindsey Love has worked in architecture and construction for 25 years. Her architectural expertise is strengthened by hands-on building experience and credentials as a Passive House Tradesperson, Living Future Accredited Professional, and Healthy Materials Specialist. She is skilled at identifying sustainable pathways grounded in both their economic benefits and challenges.

Lindsey’s passion lies in working with natural materials such as straw, clay, hemp, and lime. These materials are not only sustainable but biophilic—creating connection to nature, non-toxic, and non-polluting. Many are now available in pre-fabricated or off-the-shelf components, some developed or manufactured within our region.

Her work spans the Rocky Mountain West, from New Mexico to northern Montana, on projects including tribal affordable housing, multi-family developments, high-end residences, and institutional buildings. This wide-ranging experience with place and material has shaped her affinity for modern, humane, and place-based architecture.

Grounded in efficiency and practical know-how, Lindsey finds appropriate solutions for each project, drawing on experience with both conventional and alternative systems: SIPs, CLT, ICF, straw bale, straw clay, timber frame, and more. Her love of raw, less-processed materials stems from their human and ecological richness—qualities often lost in today’s fast-paced building industry that prioritizes convenience over connection.

After co-leading Love | Schack Architecture, Lindsey founded Regenerative Building Solutions in 2023 to support architects, homeowners, and builders through consulting, education, and subcontracting. She has guest lectured at universities, presented at the national AIA Conference, and teaches a six-month series on breaking barriers to sustainability for small companies. Lindsey serves as President of AIA Idaho, sits on the Natural Building Alliance Board, and is a member of the AIA 2030 Working Group. Her clients often find themselves joining the physical process—not by requirement, but because it’s intriguing and joyful
