Southern Pines is our headquarters and home as much for its sense of community as for its mild climate and unique resort atmosphere. The Sandhills region offers opportunity for sensible growth and we enjoy playing a role keeping it beautiful and lively. We also seek out projects throughout the Carolinas and beyond.

In our work and world view, we stress the word “design” as much as “architecture” because the ideas of place and intentionality and vision take us beyond physical structure. We’re finding more and more clients who expect this from their design partners.

In 1988, after a six-year tenure with Cooper-Lecky Architects in Washington, DC, Lynn Page Anderson founded the firm Anderson Architecture in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

Lynn has watched this area change and grow over her lifetime. Most of her recent and current projects are located in Moore and Cumberland Counties. She maintains a personal interest in the vitality and visual quality of the Sandhills.

In her practice, Lynn has designed commercial and institutional buildings for private and public municipal clients.  Her residential projects range from custom houses, barns and horse farms to townhouses and condominiums.   She has demonstrated her dedication to quality design with a great diversity of project types from The Gibbon Exhibit at the National Zoo in Washington, DC to The Village Hall in Pinehurst, from hangers for A-10 Warthogs to medical offices for Carolina Behavioral Care.

Lynn often uses her artistic talent to provide handsomely drawn architectural renderings that help her clients visualize their projects.

Mark Dean
Mark E. Dean, M Arch

Project Manager


State University of New York,  Master of Architecture, 1993
State University of New York,  Bachelor of Prof. Studies, Arch., 1990
Duchess Community College,  A.A.S., 1988

Mark is an excellent construction technician.  His duties include research and development of building systems, and their incorporation into our work.  He has a remarkable graphic sense which leads to very clear and understandable construction documents.   This talent, in turn, leads to fewer problems in the field.  He aids greatly in the development of project standards, computer and graphics standards, and networking architecture.

Mark is a focused, detail-oriented, and well-organized project manager, so he is capable of handling several complex projects at once.  He is accomplished in both the field and the office as a construction administrator.   He gives exacting reviews of submittals for products and assemblies. Because of his careful review of construction in-house and on the job, countless contractor errors have been prevented or mitigated in time.   He is timely in his responses when  questions arise,  and he works well with the men in the field.

He has worked with Mr. Anderson since 1993, and made the move with him to Anderson Architecture.

Mollie Tobias
Mollie Tobias, BFA

Interior Designer


Savannah College of Art and Design, Bachelor of Fine Arts Magna Cum Laude, 2004

Mollie graduated from S.C.A.D. with a major in interior design and a minor in architecture. She has worked in several internships in both interior design and architecture firms before coming to Anderson Architecture in early 2006, and her skills clearly bridge both disciplines.

Mollie has worked on a variety of projects ranging from assisted care facilities to commercial up-fits and religious spaces, and from high-end residential to mixed-use, multi-family projects.   While much of her commercial work has focused on the challenge of using design to boost morale and productivity, she has an uncanny grasp of the subtleties required for quality residential architecture. With us, she has honed her natural grasp of construction to help administer projects as large as $12.5 million.

Not only does she select color schemes, plan interior spaces, and perform design documentation tasks,   she also uses her  significant and varied computer skills to create most of our three-dimensional models, which our clients often use in their marketing materials and on their websites.  She brings a highly motivated and energetic presence to any project she touches.

Calvin Howell
W. Calvin Howell, AIA

emeritus


NC State University

Calvin studied at the North Carolina State University School of Architecture when it was run by the inimitable Henry Kamphoefner. He was one of the founding members of the well-known Sandhills firm of Hayes-Howell, PA.  He has been a part of Anderson Architecture since 2005.

Over his long career, Calvin was a specialist with the enormous variety and array of technical and legal documents one encounters in architectural practice.  His expertise in thermal and moisture intrusion prevention principles and techniques is highly regarded.  He champions a rigorous approach to detailing that makes a tremendous difference to a building’s longevity.  There aren’t many project types he hasn’t worked on.

Calvin has cut back his involvement to part-time, but is still in our office at least once a week, depending on his work load.  Among his typical responsibilities, he is in charge of all the renovation work at the Penick Village in Southern Pines.  His knowledge and gentlemanly manners have made him a favorite of contractors, consultants, and clients for many years.

Specifications and Cost Control


Maury joined Robert’s previous firm in 1993, when he relocated from New York, where he had his own firm for many years.  His projects in New York were mostly large-scale government, educational, and medical, so he brought much valuable experience to the Sandhills.

He came to Anderson Architecture in 2005 as a consultant, exclusively serving our firm with his architectural skills.  His ability to ascertain the probable bid price of a project is remarkable, and he has often predicted the bids within less than half a percent.  Maury’s strong experience with product and system specification is also very helpful, and he often provides us with the first draft of a spec for the project architect to refine.  Owning his own firm for many years has afforded him great judgment regarding product reliability and a construction method’s applicability to a given situation.  We deeply appreciate his continued participation.

Katie Sparrow
Katie Sparrow, BS Arch

Intern Architect


Ball State University,  Bachelor of Science in Architecture, 2006

As evidence for her remarkable determination and focus, Katie made time during her undergraduate years to work an internship in Florida, gaining for herself valuable ground-level professional experience before she even graduated. Before coming to our firm in mid-2007 Katie further built her experience in the widely varied practice of an Indiana-based, award-winning firm.  She is committed to design that is well-founded in her common-sense personality.  While she demonstrates a keen and persistent aesthetic sensibility, her innovations bring logic, clarity, and simplicity to some of our most challenging details.

Katie has contributed a great set of skills and wonderful sense of quality to our efforts.  She understands the importance of research-based design, and she provides consistently well thought- out work to our projects.  Katie always looks for the “craft” in the details.

Her varied skills have produced for us graphic presentations, three-dimensional models, and construction documents.
