Line and Space is an architectural design firm founded in 1978, by Les Wallach, FAIA, and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.[1] They have completed projects internationally[2][3] and are known for their ecologically-sound buildings.[4][5][6][7]

In 2007 Line and Space extended its services internationally when the company was selected to design a series of luxury villas in Shenzhen,[8] China. The project included the design of several housing prototypes, a corporate retreat, and community center along the hillside of Tianqin Bay. The “Cascading Residences” as they have come to be known, were a catalyst for the firm’s future work in China. Since then, Line and Space has completed projects in the cities of Xiamen, Kunming, Chongqing, and Nanjing. As the scope of their work continues to broaden, Line and Space consistently strives to create sustainable, resource conserving architecture that is inherent to their design philosophy.
