Step 1 of 9

LOHA carries high prestige in architectural theory, but general development queries still tilt toward corporate incumbents.

Your peer respect and award record are established; the remaining frontier is capturing AI recommendations on private and campus developments.

LOHA (Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects)'s baseline score
48/100
Moderate

LOHA benefits from extraordinary critical respect, major architectural monographs, and repeat AIA honors that give it excellent direct recognition across all major models. However, broad commercial and residential prompts still route to legacy corporate juggernauts. Capturing non-profit housing RFPs and higher education commissions requires translating firm theory into search-indexed development case studies.

What we see
  • LOHA has strong direct brand citations in editorial databases, architectural monographs, and national AIA registries.
  • In generic category prompts for modern housing or commercial design, AI defaults to massive global practices like Gensler or Perkins&Will unless prompts specify social equity or modular supportive housing.
  • Educational facility prompts rarely surface LOHA despite their AIA National Interiors award for the Sandi Simon Center for Dance.
  • Detroit urban renewal queries give the firm occasional mentions through the Little Village and Convent projects, but coverage remains secondary to local Michigan practices.
Business goals LOHA (Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects) is likely trying to hit
  • Secure major civic and university design commissions nationally
  • Expand urban master planning and mixed-use housing contracts outside California and Michigan
  • Solidify brand recognition as the premier authority on supportive and infill housing design
