Design Inspiring Community Founded in 1986, GGLO is a 100+ person design practice providing research, planning and urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design with projects within the United States and around the world. Specializing in the understanding of the contextual fabric of our clients’ projects, both in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California, GGLO offers planning, design, and delivery expertise across multiple disciplines. Our designers focus on people and their interactions with their environment by creating memorable experiences through welcoming residences, inspiring workplaces, and delightful landscapes and parks.
Design for People As cities grow and become more global, design oftentimes risks becoming more generic with less personal connection to its surroundings. We believe the best places and buildings connect people to their communities, homes, and natural environment. We design buildings to be beautiful, comfortable, and inspire healthy lifestyles for their users. Good design looks at all scales of the human experience. It examines the cultural and historical importance of a site; it connects to the larger city; and it pays attention to the smallest details. To live holistically, we design holistically – our teams include urban designers, landscape architects, architects, and interior designers, all working collaboratively to craft the best solutions.
