Best Architects St George Utah
Looking for the best choice for an architect in St George Utah? We believe we fit that bill. Everyone you speak to will claim the same, but here are a few reasons why choose GSB Architecture for your job may make the positive difference that you are hoping for.
Building for heat, sun and monsoon
Our team of expert architects have been designing and constructing buildings in St. George, Washington County, Ivins, Santa Clara, Hurricane, and Washington City for over 37 years. We understand how to properly prepare a building from its design phase forward to be able to withstand the dry heat and temperamental weather patterns unique to Southern Utah.
Designing with the land, not against it
One thing that really makes GSB Architecture stand apart from other firms is our dedication to protecting the land and its residents, both human and animal.
Our Lead Principal Architect, Greg Balderree, is a firm believer in the importance of designing buildings that work with the environment, instead of against it. When we design and construct buildings, we do it with the intention of creating something that lasts AND supports the integrity of the land around it.
Every architect wants to build something that will last forever, but we take it a step further by making sure that everything that we build will leave a lasting, positive impact on the environment and the people who interact with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the custom home design process?
The process moves through programming and feasibility, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and bidding through construction administration. GSB Architecture guides clients through every phase as a full-service firm, with energy-efficient and sustainable design built in from the start.
What is a LEED Accredited Professional?
A LEED AP is a professional credentialed by the U.S. Green Building Council in sustainable design, covering energy, water, materials, and indoor air quality. It reflects GSB Architecture’s long-standing focus on environmentally friendly and energy-efficient design.
What is design-build?
Design-build is a delivery method where design and construction are coordinated under one process, rather than a separate architect contract and contractor bid (design-bid-build). It can streamline scheduling and accountability. GSB Architecture works under both models and helps clients choose the right fit for their project.
What is the difference between an architect and a draftsman?
An architect is licensed, trained, and legally accountable for a building’s design, code compliance, and safety. A draftsman produces technical drawings but isn’t licensed to make those design decisions.
GSB Architecture was founded in 1989 by Greg S. Balderree, AIA, a licensed architect. Every project we take on benefits from that licensure through full programming and feasibility review, consultant coordination, constructibility review, and construction administration through project closeout.
