Burlington International Airport, 1971

The firm was established in 1964 under the name J. Henderson Barr. Barr’s associate, Dick Wiemann, then took over the practice after J.H. Barr returned to Connecticut in the late sixties. At that time, the name was changed to Richard H. Wiemann Architect.

In 1971 James Lamphere joined Richard and the name was changed to Wiemann Lamphere Architects. The two were successful in building a substantial practice, reaching a total of 35 personnel at its peak and becoming a leader in the design community in and around Vermont.

By 1985 the next generation of partners had been established with the offering of a partnership to Gary Lavigne, a native Vermonter with professional experience in the Boston area, and then Dennis B. Webster, a graduate of Colgate University who had joined the firm in 1979 after practicing in Ohio.

Wiemann Lamphere Architects has been a leader in the design community by providing a full range of architectural, planning, sustainable design, engineering and construction administration services for over 40 years. We strive to provide our clients with the highest quality, most comprehensive and cost effective architectural solutions through responsible leadership, consistent philosophy, and a strong background of performance.

The unique opportunities of each project, combined with careful consideration of the client’s philosophy, programmatic requirements, and site characteristics, shape the basis of our designs and lend each project its own identity.
