Jennifer Luce

In this episode, Jennifer Luce, founder of LUCE et Studio Architects, a firm redefining the role of collaboration and interdisciplinary architecture and design. With roots in Montreal and over 35 years in San Diego, Jennifer has cultivated a practice that bridges art, nature, and community through thoughtful and innovative architecture design.

At LUCE et studio, the philosophy of collaboration is central. From internal teamwork to partnerships with external creatives, each project becomes a shared journey of exploration. Jennifer’s work ranges from transforming museums (like the Mingei International Museum) into open, welcoming spaces that connect with their surroundings, to collaborating with Nature Collective to blend art, design, and environmental activism in protecting lagoon ecosystems.

Jennifer’s years of experience have honed a design process that results in beautiful spaces deeply rooted in their specific context. By seamlessly integrating art, nature, and design, she and her team create environments that foster connection and inspire change within our megaregion. World Design Spotlight is a series of over a dozen videos which celebrate the innovative minds redefining design across our region.
