Announcing the Retirement of Principal Paul Zaferiou, IALD, RA
After 40 fulfilling and productive years with Lam Partners, it is with the deepest gratitude that we announce the retirement of Paul Zaferiou, IALD, RA. Paul wil be transitioning into the role of Principal Emeritus and will occasionally advise on projects still in progress as needed, along with mentoring our junior design staff about the principles of lighting design.
Throughout an extraordinary career in lighting design, Paul has been an integral part of Lam Partners, beginning in 1984 under the mentorship of the firm’s founder, Bill Lam. Over the years, Paul experienced and contributed to major transformations in lighting technology, from incandescent and fluorescent systems to the widespread adoption of LEDs. His work has been instrumental in the success of countless architectural and landscape projects worldwide.
During Paul’s time with the firm, Lam Partners has grown and evolved significantly, expanding from its roots in Cambridge to include offices in Pittsburgh, Denver, and Washington, D.C. While the firm has embraced change, its core values of People, Passion, and Craft have remained steadfast. The Lam culture of integrated design and collaboration is stronger than ever, and Paul leaves the firm in the capable hands of a talented and accomplished new generation of designers and partners.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Paul for his contributions and commitment over the years and wish him all the best as he embarks on this new and exciting phase of life.
