A native of the Carolina Piedmont, Patrick Lemmon is the lead designer and builder. Specializing in structural masonry and timber frame construction, Patrick has built throughout the southeast and midwest. After completing a bachelor’s degree in music and philosophy, Patrick began a three year apprenticeship with master builder Clay Chapman and the Hope For Architecture initiative. Coming on board as HFA’s first full-time apprentice, he played an integral role in forming the program. His apprenticeship focused on the design and construction of multi-century structures.
Patrick’s additional projects and pursuits include developing hand-stitched leather tool pouches, researching thermal mass performance in structural masonry construction, cataloging lime mortar samples, teaching workshops, and presenting at speaking engagements.
Committed to engaging with the international building community, Patrick is honored to be a member of INTBAU's College of Traditional Practitioners as a young practitioner.
