Scott Likins, AIA, NCARB

Principal
​
Director of the Senior Living Design Group
Scott is the early bird in the office, which helps him get a little work done before staff arrives each morning. As managing Principal of BLDD’s Chicago office, each day centers on directing and mentoring staff to insure projects run smoothly and efficiently. Scott works hard with each team to deliver complex projects within tight schedules. As Director of BLDD’s senior living design group, Scott also markets his experience and passion to deliver culture change within senior living environments.

​After work, Scott enjoys time with his wife and three sons who love to fish, play baseball and golf. Scott also squeezes in time to serve on committees at his local church, the Lockport Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the alumni board of his college fraternity, Alpha Delta Phi.

Chris Lee

Designer
Chris Lee joins BLDD from the Seattle area but spent his formative years in Chicago's West suburbs. While having been trained as an interior designer, he embraces all aspects of architecture and believes a holistic approach to whole building design produces the most successful projects. Chris particularly enjoys the blending of creative expression with technical science that is at the root of architecture. He had specialized in retail design for the first half of his career, and the latter half has found him building an expertise in the senior housing world, where he is continually inspired by the nurturing spirit that is ingrained there. 

​Outside of the office, Chris loves to be with his wife and two kids, getting outdoors, and sliding silently through the water in a kayak or sailboat. He might be found riding on his mountain bike on a single track trail or tackling another home improvement project. Chris really enjoys cooking without a recipe and improvising jazz and blues on his vintage tenor saxophone.
