OUR APPROACH
-
We are driven to design buildings that respond to, protect, and enhance their environments and communities. We consider sustainability at every stage of a project, to maximize building efficiency and ensure that sustainable practices are attainable for every budget.
-
At the end of the day, we are in the business of designing for people. Without people, even the most spectacular architecture is just an empty shell. We aim to create spaces that encourage connection, facilitate learning, stimulate creativity, and ultimately provide people with great experiences.
-
Which takes precedence: design or cost? We believe that both are essential to every project. Having an ongoing evaluation process makes buildings more affordable and simpler to build, which leads to a stronger design solution. GKO takes pride in exceeding a client’s expectations while respecting their budget.
-
At GKO, we anticipate and design for the changing needs of our clients to ensure long term flexibility of the space, without sacrificing architectural integrity. Smart design continues to function well for those who use their facility, year after year.
