Philosophy
Greg is the Lead Principal Architect in responsible control for all projects. GSB functions as a working studio with collaborative team efforts from both clients and colleagues. We believe good design is good practice, without a premium. GSB is about bringing strong design and management skills to create enduring value for our clients, for any conceivable building type and market climate. No matter the scope of the project, no matter the cost, a better design will always result in a quality experience for the end user and a higher return on investment. We continually strive to improve our designs by carefully listening to our clients throughout the creative process and are committed to fulfilling programmatic requirements, as well as communicating our philosophy and vision, with innovative design that speaks to the unique constraints and opportunities of each project. We design to preserve natural resources, respect water and energy conservation and generation, integrate effective passive and active solar strategies, optimize indoor air quality, daylighting and views, design high-performance thermal envelopes and maximize energy efficiencies to be environmentally conscious for a greener, healthier, sustainable future. Today’s homes and building s must be well-designed, healthier, to resist the harmful effects of the elements, and meet higher standards from design through occupancy and operation, while reducing contribution to ozone depletion and global warming.
