Paul Lewandowski

Founder | Architect

Paul Lewandowski, IIDA, AIA, is the founding principal of fig.19, a Portland, Maine-based studio specializing in research, planning, interior design, and architecture.

Known for a thoughtful and collaborative approach, Paul leads the firm in creating residential and commercial environments that integrate wellness, energy responsibility, purposeful materiality, and equity. His work is rooted in narrative design, listening closely to history, context, and lived experience to shape authentic, resilient spaces that profoundly resonate with the people and communities they serve.

Paul earned a Bachelor of Science in 1988 and a Bachelor of Architecture in 1989 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His professional affiliations include the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).

Outside the studio, Paul is a member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, a fitting hobby for someone who loves how simple elements come together into something strong and beautiful.
