DESIGN PORTFOLIO
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH
DESIGN FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND PLACE As cities grow, becoming more global and more sophisticated, often designs become more generic, with less connection and sense of community between people. But the best places and buildings inspire people everywhere, bringing out the best in all of us. Creativity thrives, opportunities are created and communities thrive. We seek to bring the essence of community alive in each of our projects – believing that the fundamental desire to interact and feel a part of something can be evoked through design. This perspective runs deep through our practice, helping ensure our solutions have the most positive impact in any context. We embrace the myriad of considerations and interactions within our clients’ projects to craft solutions that are memorable, responsible and enduring – contributing positively to the fabric of the community they will endure in. This challenge compels our work each and every day.
Design that stimulates community. Places where people prosper. Design for people to connect and thrive. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, ENDURING COMMUNITIES We believe that people succeed best when connected to their community, their home and their environment. We design of our buildings to not only be healthy, comfortable and efficient, but also to inspire people to lead healthy lives. We design to inspire people to move, and to experience both the outdoors and the indoors in their daily lives, finding inspiration throughout.
HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATED DESIGN EXPERIENCE We believe that the experience of users and customers of our designs should be a complete one. Our focus on people and their experience of their environment will be best and most memorable if they encounter beautiful and functional buildings, welcoming and livable residences, collaborative and inspiring work places, along with delightful landscapes and parks. Good design looks at all scales of the human experience - it examines the cultural and historical importance of a site, it connects with the larger city, and it pays attention to the details. Based on that belief we have integrated our design teams to include urban designers and city planners, landscape architects and interior designers, all working hand-in-hand to craft the best design solutions. Our primary services encompass the requirements of any project. As we orchestrate the planning, design and delivery expertise across multiple services, we ensure consistency and coherence in the project. Motifs and considerations established in the planning phase are carried through to execution, resulting in a more holistically realized space. Our staff has expertise and proven experience creating sustainable designs for mixed-use developments, residential, hotels and resorts, retail centers, educational campus environments, parks and open spaces. PLANNING FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS We believe that the long-term success of our designs depends upon their being designed to be efďŹ cient and cost-effective. Our goal is to work closely together with our clients to set performance goals and success metrics early. GGLO conducts deep market research, understands development metrics and has developed a number of analytical tools that assist in crafting a holistically successful project.
DESIGN FOR PEOPLE CULTURE - COMMUNITY - HOME The buildings that we build become the real-life homes of the people in our community. It’s not an abstract notion the care and thought that we put into crafting the spaces that people inhabit, work and play in affect the quality of people’s lives. They become the setting for hopes and dreams. And when well designed, these building become the foundation of long-term success for the project, and for the city around it.
A mixed-use development should have an authentic sense of place, rooted in cultural relevance, a strong community spirit, and a strong connection to its physical site. A CURATED EXPERIENCE Designing for a mix of uses is to design for a mix of experiences, a place with a rich curated story that unfolds every day for residents, guests, shoppers and diners. RESIDENT-INSPIRED Great mixed-use design starts with making the effort to understand the way people will live, work and play in this particular place. Research, questions, listening - these are the essential ingredients the start the design process. Understanding and insight are built through research and inquiry. We continually build knowledge ranges both far and deep.
DIVERSE ALL-DAY ACTIVITIES By storyboarding the lives of residents and workers, we begin to reveal opportunities to create a daily narrative that draws people in. Diverse activities and uses that unfold, each day a little differently, each pathway rich with sights and sounds - these pull people in time after time, holding them and living in their memories. CREATE A UNIQUE URBAN IDENTITY Successful mixed-use communities are built around a strong identity, one that people see themselves as part of. People naturally want to be part of something special, and want to see themselves in their environment. We all want the places we are part of to show our own hopes, beliefs and aspirations. CONNECTED TO THE CITY AND COMMUNITY To be part of a virbrant city is to be part of a community of people. Mixed-use buildings and communities need to be active participants in the urban life of their city - not shy or aloof, but also not overbearing or egocentric. They should celebrate the best their city at the scale of the skyline, at the scale of the street, and at the scale of a residential unit. GRACEFUL AND ELEGANT The best design solutions are elegant and graceful; they are simple and reďŹ ned, intelligently solving many problems with the fewest moves. We embrace the future and modernity through research, testing innovative technologies and materials, exploring relevant form-making, and exploring evolving lifestyles.
HOW WE WORK Clients are our most valuable Partners. Client relationships at GGLO are more like partnerships; instead of a served and service relationship, GGLO values its clients’ expertise, listens to our client’s needs in helping create better solutions for their projects. GGLO’s work is grounded in the idea that design offers a way to tell a story about who our clients are, what their business is and what they want it to be. By engaging many diverse disciplines we can create design solutions that transcend the means used to achieve them. We seek to understand the complex issues that underlay every design challenge, seeking new insights and revealing new solutions. We listen and question. INTEGRATED DESIGN GGLO’s is a multifaceted, multi-disciplined approach to the development of projects, is a driving motivator in how it approaches the work it does. Where GGLO has the opportunity to incorporate multiple disciplines in the design and development of the new work, be it a combination of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design, each is considered with respect to the other and the overall project concept is developed in unison to create the best project possible. Designing projects in such a way is efficient and of great benefit as all of the work occurs within the company where project information is communicated to its respective teams as it develops in real time, and where teams can reflexively respond to design decisions made by other teams to their greatest benefit. Where GGLO works in more traditional roles on projects, and where others may be responsible for developing elements of the work outside of the company, the idea of working in an integrated fashion still drives the process and conceptual framework of the work where possible. URBAN PLACEMAKING GGLO’s design efforts are not only fulfilling the programmatic tasks asked of us by our clients, but too working within urban contexts to both create and maintain urban livability, establish a sense of identity, and to promote vitality, and wellbeing at whatever scale is required.
SUSTAINABILITY At GGLO, we believe that, Sustainability is a place upon which to start, not just end a project, creating not only design opportunity with such an approach, but demonstrating that environmental, social, and economic sustainability are not only compatible, but are also mutually sustaining. GGLO is dedicated to helping its clients move toward sustainable options in the design, operation and materiality of their projects in a variety of ways. DEFINING THE SKYLINE, ENGAGING THE GROUND With urban projects in particular, understanding interrelated scales of the built environment is paramount to good design; relating to the scale of the project’s users and their daily activities, their environment, the street and the surrounding context (Urban Room), and the definition of a city’s skyline are all equally important. Understanding those dimensions make a place not only livable, but an enriching place to be. Being an expert at only one or another of the 3 Scales is not sufficient in the development of successful urban projects, it is necessary to know all three to establish how the project becomes a citizen of the city at each of its interrelated scales and requires: •
•
•
Carefully designing how a building meets the ground, understanding the scale and texture of materials, how the intersection of building to pavement is established and what it feels like for people to interact and intermingle in that environment. Judiciously establish the proportions of the project as it relates to the dimensions of the street, urban corridors, and adjacent buildings, and understand how the programming of a particular project relates to the urban environment at that intermediate scale. Defining a city’s skyline is a great responsibility – a building’s profile and silhouette delineates, identifies and can brand a city. That responsibility requires attentive design to ensure the building is a worthy citizen amongst its neighbors.
Defining an Urban Moment 8th & Spring - Seattle, Washington
Creating a destination center at the crossroads for multiple neighborhoods; a nexus, an urban hub, stitching together disparate neighborhoods. The project’s alley serves as the neighborhood center, embracing and integrating the adjacent institution of Town Hall into a lively experience with friendly, active spaces to accommodate concerts and other outdoor activities. With multiple access points, the alley and plazas are protected from the freeway noise, offering a friendly, safe and useful space for residents and neighbors. The architecture is carefully shaped to reflect light and circulate air while protecting from noise and weather. A variety of residential living experiences is offered including ground-related townhouses, tower loft units, and a mix of residential units designed with efficiency and flexibility for the future. Units are designed around highly-efficient systems and floor plans, with careful orientation to light and view. The buildings are placed to take optimum advantage of the many spectacular views of the city and the region.
Developing Context Old Boise Master Plan - Boise, Idaho
The Eastside/Old Boise Master Plan arose out of the desire to develop a plan, being respectful of the existing fabric and context, that would conclude in the reuse of the existing fabric with its authentic sense of place as a baseline for new infill thoughtfully designed mixed-use development, that together, create Boise’s first truly urban LIV District. Celebrating Boise’s commitment to the arts, Gateway elements and Sculpture will punctuate entries to the district and announce pedestrian crossings. New, multi-generational housing above retail will be rich with amenities, green roofs, height variation, courtyards, and grand exterior stairs that connect residents to the shops, open spaces, and multi-modal streets of their neighborhood. Development phasing has been curated to, block-by-block, respectfully build on the best of the existing fabric to position Boise for future growth.
Embracing Culture Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center - Pullman, Washington
Prominently situated at the main entry to the WSU Pullman Campus, the Multicultural Center expands the notion of what it means to be afďŹ liated with the venerable institution. Cultural awareness and acceptance, celebration of heritage, restoration of native landscapes, and sense of place are all expressed through the unapologetic, yet dynamically illustrative form of the 16,000 sf building, turning the concept of what is building and what is landscape on its head. With its design inspired by an indigenous philosophy of respect and interdependence between humans and nature, entries and communal spaces spill out into a restored native Palouse Prairie landscape, with oor, roof and walls undulating with the topography of the site.
Urban Placemaking Crescent 5th & Ash - Tempe, Arizona
Tempe’s popularity, fueled in part by a nearby university and growing population of young people is an emergent destination. GGLO’s design response for a mixed use development including Restaurant/Retail, Super Market, Hotel and Apartments in a prime location in the city was to capture some of the vibrancy and enthusiasm, and with a respectful eye on the city’s often harsh and hot weather, develop a refreshing and vibrant urban oasis that enables an active lifestyle, stimulates community connections and celebrates the outdoors with an overarching sense of hospitality. The design approach is based on five urban design principals refined and applied specifically to optimize the unique combination of site location, program and surrounds.
New Dimensions Taman Budaya - Neo Hotel, Sentul City, Indonesia
Building modern mixed use developments starts with understanding the cultural heritage that provides the foundation for establishing a sense of place that people will love. At Taman Budaya, located in Sentul City near Jakarta, Indonesia, the existing cultural center is being expanded and re-imagined as a full service resort covering 25 acres. A new hotel is being added (construction in 2016) along with a conference and event center, large wedding facilities, expanded cultural services, along with restaurants and shopping. It is anchored by a large central park with natural gardens and outdoor performance spaces. When complete, Taman Budaya will become the new cultural and community center of the growing Sentul City. As Sentul expands and continues its growth in the high-tech and entertainment industry, the new residents will be looking for a community identity and a place to come together. This new community at Taman Budaya add great value to the many residences under development, inspiring people to engage with their environment and with the cultural life of Sentul.
Creating Urban Identity Olympic Gatways Bremerton, Washington
Bremerton’s nautical heritage as a naval station, and depot for ship and submarine building during the wars was significant in the design of the Olympic Gateway. In a city where buildings were historically erected and torn down per the needs of local industry, and fluctuation in a corresponding population, few call on the heritage of the place in helping illustrate the building as being specific to that place. The Olympic Gateway draws upon the heritage of Bremerton and embraces its location along the waters of the Puget Sound as a visual entryway to the region and establishes itself as an icon on the city’s waterfront as its tallest building at 240 feet (73m). The project’s two towers reflect a nuanced nautical theme in their materiality and form, with ship-like decks, curved balconies, glass handrails and “crow’s nest” rooftop amenity spaces. Its porthole entry and hotel porte-cochère serve as the project’s front door and as an inviting access point to views to the water beyond. The podium creates a platform for the project’s two residential towers, containing a 115 key hotel, restaurant/retail and amenity programming. A walkway connecting the project with adjoining properties takes advantage of the project’s seaside location and eastern exposure and stunning sunrise views.
Icon 5th & Virginia - Seattle, Washington
This tower in a prominent location in Seattle, designed for Douglaston Development, is an iconic intervention in the city where development of this type has not occurred in years. The project represents a new segue into the market with Residential, Hospitality and Retail programming, helping anchor an important urban corner and create a new “place� in the city for upscale urban living and a destination for the sophisticated traveler. Establishing an architectural theme for each respective element, Residential, Hospitality and Retail was important in establishing a dialogue to create hierarchy and an understanding of the project’s individual elements as discrete entities, juxtaposed with its complex urban context and dizzying scales. The three governing scales that makes good architecture a good citizen of a city are: Pedestrian, Urban Room and Skyline.
Urban Juxtaposition The Mirador - Bellevue, Washington
The highlight of cities updating their zoning guidelines to recognize and accommodate a kinder, more gentle environment for people and moving away from a previous generation’s ideas that the automobile was the mechanism by which guidelines were made and our cities were crafted, is that new architectural forms can be established to accommodate those needs. The Mirador is the first project designed in Bellevue to achieve this. Designed for Beijing-based Create World Development, this project sets a new standard for residential/mixed-use development in the region, and establishes itself apart from other projects in the surrounding downtown district in several key ways - establishing a generous set back from the street edge, highlighting the project’s retail base and activating the street with circulation for pedestrians; by creating a unique façade for an otherwise normal building envelope with texture, material and form; creating duplex apartments at the project’s top floors to offset the building’s profile and establish generous balconies. The project’s 162 residential units, and a floor of commercial office space sit atop 2 floors of retail on a prominent corner in the city’s retail district.
PLANNING Architecture, landscape, context, and community are inextricably bound – it is clear that one cannot be altered without affecting the other. For this reason, Planning and Urban Design forms the core of GGLO’s practice, for this is where critical physical, programmatic, and economic interrelationships are explored, defined, enabled, and validated. GGLO’s Planning and Urban Design work ranges in scale from small, neighborhood open spaces to regional development and ecological systems, and it varies in type from climate and urban policy planning to advocacy, strategy, and research. Whether working in the US, or overseas, a rigorous focus is placed on discovering inventive but practical solutions to the vexing challenges of sustainable and equitable growth and development.

900 Albert Master Planning & Design Mixed-Use As Canada’s national capitol and the home of Parliament, great care is paid to complementing the Ottawa’s distinctive skyline. The towers of 900 Albert will stretch to 600’, nearly twice as tall as the next tallest buildings in the city. The site is part of a fast growing new urban core with a wide mix of uses and activities. A new transit station connecting two lines across the city are directly connected to the podium of the towers. Several large landscaped parks and a large central plaza connect the project to the neighboring communities. Uses includes retail, transit, hotel and conference center, office, and over 1,000 residential apartments and condominiums. Amenities are strategically located throughout the development to create an active community - a village in the skyline. Community shared spaces are visible from a distance, lit up with color and integrated planting to give a sense of activity and life.
