Lythgoe Design Group

History

The foundation and legacy for Lythgoe Design Group started in 1973 when Lane’s father, Hartley Lythgoe, established Lythgoe Construction inc. in Heber City, Utah. Starting at the age of 12, Lane would work with his father during the summer months picking up nails, cleaning the work area and helping his father work his trade. As the years went by Lane learned the art of construction and after fifteen years had learned in detail the trade of general contractor and master builder.

Intending to continue in his father’s industry, Lane received his Bachelor of Science in engineering from Brigham Young University in 1988. Upon graduating from BYU, Lane worked for Salt Lake County Architecture as an intern architect and gained valuable experience in commercial facility management and architecture. During his tenure at Salt Lake County, Lane attended night school and obtained an MBA from University of Phoenix. Upon leaving the County in 1995 Lane established Lythgoe Design Group. Lane is licensed as an architect in Utah, Colorado, and Idaho, and is also a licensed general contractor.

Today the LDG team balances modern day technology and building methods with a classical approach. LDG is a member of the ICAA (Institute of Classical Art & Architecture) and is currently training a new generation of aspiring Architects from UVU’s classical architecture program who are committed to carrying on the Lythgoe legacy.
