ARCHITECTURE
We follow the philosophical lead of the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, designing structures with three legs to stand on: Firmness, so that they will last; Utility, so that they meet your needs: and Delight, so that they are pleasing to experience. Our award-winning architects are a visionary group who employ sustainable techniques and materials to solve design challenges and elevate the end result. At the same time, we are process driven, to ensure that your timeline, your budget and your project requirements are achieved.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Our landscape architects are often the first people on a building site, and the last people to leave it. This end-to-end stewardship helps them collaborate with our architects to improve the entire design process, creating an integrated vision for a site, and then executing the plan successfully. They strive to identify a client’s point of view, and then translate it into landscaping with a unique local flavor, artfully adding structures and water-wise native plants that are cost-effective to maintain, and build character and value over time.

INTERIOR DESIGN
A space should tell a story--a story that is a reflection of our client. Our interior design staff creates warm, welcoming environments, from large commercial spaces to the most intimate setting. Their versatility, creativity and buying power help maximize every dollar spent. Working closely with architects from the outset, they employ principles of sustainability to increase natural light and integrate naturally with architectural elements. Thus ensuring your space looks great, is healthier, and functions as it was intended.

PLANNING
Planning is about envisioning what could be, and creating a way to make that vision a reality. Often, the path to success means managing economic and urban development strategies, public space requirements, environmental policies, and securing public approval. GSBS offers certified planners in house, supported by an experienced team to help you navigate civic hurdles and create win-win solutions for your project and all the constituencies it may affect.

SUSTAINABILITY & ENERGY CONSULTING
"Green" isn't just a buzzword at GSBS--it's a founding principle. We have a 30-year history of commitment to sustainability in the design and construction administration practices of environmentally sound architecture. We have completed hundreds of eco-minded projects in both Utah and Texas and currently have dozens of LEED certified and registered projects. GSBS is also a vital member of the Architecture 2030 Initiative, which is the path to zero-carbon buildings included in the new federal energy bill.
