HOME ARCHITECTURE

tudio g ARCHITECTURE is a holistic design
studio based in Nevada, specializing in archi-
tecture and interior design. The studio’s design
philosophy is bound in a collaborative spirit
S and a commitment to the principles of modern
and contemporary architecture.
The team at studio g ARCHITECTURE offers not only func-
tional designs, but also inspirational spatial paradigms,
which increase understanding and awareness of how the
use of space affects lifestyle. They approach every design
challenge as an opportunity to leave a positive impact on
the environment and the community. Ideally, each design
goes beyond its programmatic requirements and into
aesthetic desires, which allows for rich schemes and per-
sonalized design solutions.
Studio g ARCHITECTURE defies preconceptions with
an understanding that, while working within limits, crea-
tive improvisation can harvest unexpected solutions and
astonishing results. At the core of this philosophy is the
goal to have architecture enhance one’s experience while
immersed in its environment, where one yields influence
from that environment.
The decline of both our natural and built environments is
at the forefront of studio g ARCHITECTURE’S philosophy,
as they seek to reverse this affect and avert further dam-
age to our planet. To this end, studio g ARCHITECTURE
has made a passionate commitment to sustainable design.
Through proactive measures that address today’s increas-
ingly urgent environmental and social issues, they strive
to make sustainable design a part of universal design.
studio g ARCHITECTURE challenges its staff and con-
sultants to create environmentally sensitive and practical
solutions that satisfy the client’s financial, aesthetic, and
programmatic criteria. This task demands that the work
incorporates innovative design technologies. By carefully
addressing each project from a more holistic approach, all
projects can be more resource efficient, easier to maintain,
healthier spaces to work, and ultimately more profitable.
Michael Gardner, principal of stu-
dio g ARCHITECTURE, recently
