Site Design

 

When you work with an architecture firm, you want a design that is both dynamic and practical. With GLE, you have a responsive architecture company who is your design partner and can fulfill your vision and meet all of your objectives. Since 1989, we specialize in highly creative, functional design solutions. We have extensive experience with new construction and the renovation of existing buildings.

 

A successful architecture firm extends far beyond drawing plans and administrating construction. The planning and construction of a new building combines not only detailed design and financial analysis, but also long-term operational and life cycle maintenance considerations.

 

Renovations and adaptive reuse are even more complex, requiring detailed evaluation of all the building’s systems, an investigation of hazardous materials, and a determination of other limitations that may impact code compliance or efficient space utilization. Challenging environmental issues such as asbestos management, indoor air quality and lead paint testing may also need to be addressed.

 

As a full-service facilities and environmental consulting and architecture firm, we have in-house resources to solve all of the design, construction and environmental challenges of your project. In addition to a wide range of business and commercial structures, GLE has designed thousands of educational and governmental facilities, as well as housing, aviation and healthcare projects.

 

Master planning and site design require an architecture company to posses specialized expertise to maximize return on investment, while ensuring that regulatory requirements are met – for example, incorporating sufficient density to meet business objectives while working with special issues such as wetlands, endangered wildlife and environmental contamination. Our professional staff has the experience and expertise to address all of these issues to ensure successful project delivery.

 

Property owners, managers and developers appreciate our ability to incorporate their design parameters, including corporate standards, to arrive at creative and practical solutions that will meet their needs. We have the expertise an architecture company needs to get them up and running quickly with minimum disruption to property operations. As a professional architecture company, we also provide strategic planning to analyze and forecast an organization’s space requirements.

 

General contractors like the way we team with them to design constructible projects and deliver them on time and on budget without sacrificing quality. We are good listeners and idea generators.

 

Public sector clients appreciate GLE’s ability to provide innovative designs within fixed budgets.

 

Going Green: GLE is very aware of the need to create designs that conserve energy. ‘Going Green’ is a growing matter of importance in the AE industry. GLE is also aware that creating a LEED project can be very expensive for the owner and sometimes the budgets cannot support these initiatives. GLE has worked with many of our clients to find ways to conserve energy and utilize LEED aspects without having to pay the price, such as using different materials that are cost-effective while energy efficient.

 

GLE offers the following:

• LEED consulting
