Toby S. Levy, FAIA
President
As founding principal of Levy Design Partners in 1979, Toby Levy has overseen and participated in all aspects of the firm’s work from programming to design, design production and construction. Her work has been widely recognized, and the American Institute of Architects honored her with the title of Fellow (FAIA) in recognition of her contribution to advancing the standards of architectural practice, education, and training. Throughout her years of professional practice, she has regularly taught architecture at schools including the University of California Berkeley, Columbia University and the California College of Arts and Crafts. As a result of her participation on the University of California at Berkeley Design Review Team and the AIA Design Review Committee, she has developed a broad perspective on the successful resolution of design problems. She incorporates her interest in “non-toxic” building technologies and building with sustainable and renewable resources into projects whenever appropriate. Toby is active in the community as well, with memberships to the Power Plant Task Force, SOMA Leadership Council and US Green Building Council. She is a board member of the San Francisco Chapter of American Institute of Architects, Vice Chair of the SOMA rezoning and is on the UCSF Chancellor’s Architectural Advisory Committee.
