GBL provides a full range of innovative architectural services to the private and public sectors locally and internationally.
We have a user-oriented design philosophy which links form, intention and technique to create a strong social statement that reflects the client's and users standing. We favour the use of materials and methods that are appropriate to the project and environmentally sound. Our comprehensive services are oriented towards getting projects approved, financed and constructed within a defined time frame.
PROCESS.
Environmentally aware designs, clear communication, efficient project management, technical proficiency and keen administrative skills.
Each project design is based upon our knowledge of traditional and innovative construction techniques, materials and methods and our familiarity with the appropriate local code and approval process. Through years of working with Planning and Approving Authorities in the many Municipalities and Cities in British Columbia, the management of complex relationships has proven to be one of the great strengths in the reputation of the firm.
RANGE.
Current projects range in size from small inner city lots to a thirty-two acre comprehensive suburban development.
The firm's reputation was established through the provision of innovative multi-family housing design and construction. Since expanding into other areas of design and construction GBL is enjoying a growing reputation in hotels, historical renovation, commercial developments, corporate facilities, community planning, and public commissions.
