Since 1998.

With a goal of helping to make building owners look good, Serbin Studio Architecture was founded by Jeff and Lara Serbin in 1998. In the decades since, the husband and wife team has acted as a catalyst for innovative ideas through research, knowledge, and experience.

With projects ranging from small architectural sculptural projects in community spaces to large Data Center development; Serbin Studio Architecture has collaborated with mechical, plumbing, electrical, structural and civil engineering firms to lend expertise throughout the Phoenix Metro Area.

Lara Serbin

An artist, mom and active volunteer; Lara Serbin began her career in the design and construction industry in 1995. Holding a Bachelors of Architecture from the University of Arizona, Lara has participated in the APS Advancement Small, Minority and Women Owned Enterprises Academy, Executive Forums and the Eiseman Center for Color Information and Training program.

Lara is able to form a conception of how a situation should be in her head and then bring that situation into reality, not by physically creating it but by the power of suggestion, visualizing design concepts and guiding others in that direction. 

Alongside her husband Jeff, Lara co-started Serbin Studio in 1998. Together, the team has worked on large and small architectural projects throughout the Phoenix Metro area while raising their two girls, Lily and Eva.
