GGLO is a design practice for architecture, urban design, landscape, and interiors, founded in 1986 and working across North America. The practice combines our collective disciplines to design transformative and contextually sensitive projects. With offices in Seattle, Los Angeles and Boise, we work as a single, collaborative practice focused on connecting people through beauty and innovation.
We believe the future of our profession is dependent on the quality of our design thinking and expression of our design value. That value lies in our creativity, in bringing advanced knowledge to our work, and in the quality of the dialog and discourse that flows out of these ideas. These principles inspire and propel inventiveness toward our common goals, through a common language and expression. We have a moral obligation and a shared desire to change our world in a positive and meaningful way, pulling forward in the same direction, and a responsibility to bring our best to our communities.
