Johanna Lehmann

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT

Johanna is an architect and real estate professional who is committed to creating social change by helping build homes for deserving families around the globe. Her Agency Lehmann & Friends is involved largely in architecture, real estate excellence, and social commitment.

After having worked for many years with Francis Kéré, one of the world’s most distinguished contemporary architects, Johanna committed herself to the vocation of passing on her knowledge and continuing to serve communities around the world.


Johanna's team is dedicated to the highest standards of sustainable design, which we consider as a tool to empower communities, be resilient to climate change, and be economically efficient. To us, the measure of success of our projects comes in their benefit to their primary users, as well as their value to the whole community and impact on the surrounding context as a means to empower, enrich and enhance lives. Good design balances originality and beauty with sustainability, durability, and functionality.
