While we have long been able to serve clients in Los Angeles, we are very excited to deepen our practice by building a strong Los Angeles-based team for future clients."
"By formalizing our new Los Angeles office, we are now able to bring GGLO's community-centric design expertise to our Los Angeles and Southern California clients more readily. Our in-depth knowledge of urban environments will help develop sustainable, collaborative spaces that will create belonging, spark opportunity and create unforgettable personal moments," added Amy Hartwell, AIA, LEED© AP and Senior Associate in Los Angeles.
For thirty years, GGLO's vision and focus on placemaking has shaped many of the West Coast's premiere multifamily, hospitality, senior living, affordable housing, commercial, campus and civic spaces.
