Mary-Lynn Radych, associate, is a senior architect with the firm. With over 20 years of practicing architecture in Connecticut, Mary-Lynn is a LEED Accredited Professional with extensive experience in sustainable strategies and building technology. She brings her dynamic 3D design talent to various projects, from educational, laboratories, museums, and libraries to high-end residential. A diverse background in music, art, and literature augments Mary-Lynn’s natural ability to engage and establish rapport with clients on many levels, particularly in her role as project manager for cultural, private, and higher education projects.
Archana Pai, associate, is a LEED Accredited Professional specializing in green building design and construction (BD+C) for educational, healthcare, library, and residential projects.

Archana is self-driven, efficient and says she has a “passion for seeing projects come alive.”
Diana Lanser, associate, is a bilingual registered architect with 29 years of experience. “Coming from a medium-income family in Peru, with hardworking parents with great values and work ethic, they taught me that education and honest work is the road to success,” she says. For Diana, family is the key to success. “I want to inspire my 10-year-old daughter, 11 and 4-year-old nieces, and 24-year-old nephew, who just received his Bachelor of Architecture degree this year!“ Clients describe Diana as a person who creates an atmosphere of confidence that no detail or challenge will go unresolved.
Stephanie Beals, associate, is the director of marketing. Having worked within the design and construction industry for over 15 years, she has developed an ability to translate owner’s needs and objectives, architectural vision, and engineering details into written and graphic materials. As an active member of SMPS CT, she earned the Volunteer of the Year award and presented with a panel at the regional conference. Stephanie also leads the firm’s wellness initiatives, promoting a connection to nature. She says, “Nature is where I find my calm. Nature consistently reminds me how the ordinary things can be extraordinary.”
