Educate, Engage, Transform
Back to WID Award of Excellence recipients.
"I am inspired by engaging people in the process of shaping our built environment and the ‘aha moment’ when they understand how it shapes us. I love to hear the often surprising visions people contribute."
Gail Sullivan FAIAFounder + Managing Principal, Studio G ArchitectsWomen in Design Award of Excellence, 2013 winner
Three foundational principals drive my approach to design: to utilize design to serve the public interest and advocate for those under-served by development; to protect our blue-green planet and connect people in a joyful way to their natural and built environment; to mentor younger design professionals committed to social and environmental sustainability.
The first two motivated me to found Studio G Architects. The latter has been a delightful outcome. Studio G staff are at the center of the board because we work collaboratively both internally and with others.
We believe that architecture has the potential to educate, engage, and transform. We educate through our process, and in the experiences activated by our spaces.

We engage people in collaborative processes, driving toward a shared vision and synthesizing many perspectives into a single rich and layered vision. We strive to transform lives in the types of projects we design.

Each project is mission-driven, research-based, sustainable. Each strives to build sustainable community.
