Background:
Anne Smith is a native Savannahian whose professional career has spanned over 30 years. Anne’s work experience consists of both preservation and new construction for a wide variety of project types. Some of these include local government projects, hospitality, multi-family residential, commercial office buildings, medical and home health care offices and labs, retail, and restaurants. Many projects Anne has overseen have also involved working with non-profit agencies, and coordinating with volunteer boards and building committees.
Some recent project experience includes the restoration and rehabilitation of an historic oyster factory, a plantation workers cottage, a group of railroad cottages, an historic Methodist church, and the adaptive re-use of a school for African-American children. Non-profit agency work includes several projects over many years with repeat clients including: United Way of the Coastal Empire and Union Mission.
Anne began her career with a 6-year internship at Ronald Kolman Architect, which became Kolman & Smith Architects in 1991. In October 2001, the firms of Lominack Associates Architects and Kolman & Smith Architects merged to form Lominack Kolman Smith Architects.
