Lee Ledbetter

Lee Ledbetter (Arch ’80), a New Orleans-based architect and interior designer, recently published his first book, The Art of Place: Architecture and Interiors, on March 26, 2019. Written by Lee and edited by Architectural Digest’s Mayer Rus, The Art of Place showcases Lee’s understanding of both architecture and the decorative arts through his firm’s residential projects and civic buildings as well as his own homes in New Orleans and beyond. Lee received his B.S Arch from the University of Virginia and M. Arch from Princeton University. His time at UVA, under the guidance of his professor Bruce Abbey and through the University’s Vicenza program, shaped his understanding and love for both architecture and art history that is evident in his work throughout his monograph.
