Glmv Architecture

Tap into our client-centered architecture and award-winning design. Our experienced architects and design professionals work in an open, forward-thinking environment. One that fosters imaginative, quality architecture through focused architectural design. What began with the expertise of a single aviation architect has grown into a full-service team serving the leading designer and manufacturer of light and midsize business jets, utility turpoprops, and single-engine aircraft. Working together for over 25 years, we've designed facilities ranging from administration to high-tech testing facilities for this homegrown, internationally reaching company.

GLMV offers a long history of enriching people's lives through the built environment. Since 1919, three generations have partnered with GLMV to transform design challenges into opportunities. Our national architectural design firm serves as a respected leader that seizes big ideas and makes them real. We continually fine-tune our design focus to remain experts in your area, striving to be the best at what we do and forging long-lasting client relationships in the process. GLMV designs buildings, landscapes, sustainable environments, and master plans throughout the country.

Our industrial and manufacturing experts work with clients building the next technological wonders in durable, clean, state-of-the-art facilities. We know that quality products come from our clients through well-designed assembly, manufacturing, and logistics plants, and our extensive background in designing resource-efficient and cost-effective projects gives us the extra edge to contribute to creating these spaces. Providing industrial architectural support for facilities such as ethanol production, vehicle maintenance, and water and wastewater treatment plants is just the tip of the iceberg for these studio members, who also provide master planning and renovation for global clients' industrial needs.

We hit the ground running because we know the most important part of efficient planning is getting ahead of our clients' needs. We offer these services on any scale, from site planning for buildings to land planning for multi-acre developments to master planning for entire communities. We have successfully created evolving, flexible master and land plans for countless clients, as well as site planning including pedestrian and vehicle circulation, parking, hardscape, planted areas, and building orientation.

As a firm with a history dating to 1919, we have a vested interest in preserving the character of existing buildings, as well as a clear understanding of historic renovation standards. Often our clients come to us without realizing that renovation, restoration, or addition are even options, when often, they're the most economical, viable routes. We go right to work to evaluate existing structures for future use, ensure code compliance, and maximize repurposing, and can completely reimagine a space through total redesign or through simply expanding, updating, and refreshing.

Our landscape architects are responsible for the overall design of project sites. They establish drainage and grading, integrate indoor architectural design with outdoor landscaping, and create open-air spaces through plantings, paving patterns, walkways, and trails. Keeping with GLMV's tradition of sustainable design, these team members focus on decreased water use paired with increased use of natural materials and implementation of conservation features such as rain gardens, recycled-water irrigation, and drought-resistant and native plantings.

Our team of interior designers is second to none in creating beautiful, comfortable, and efficient environments for our clients. In our integrated approach, interiors professionals work in tandem with the architectural team, collaborating in space planning, color and finish material selection, and furnishing selection. GLMV designers always stay one step ahead of emerging trends in creative use of color, texture, and material to best represent your business.

At the core of our firm is architecture that begins with listening to the client. We strive to understand your industry and needs first, showing creativity, competency, and care. After we've gotten to know each other, we develop concepts and prepare construction documents before deciding on a delivery method. Not only will we help you to optimize available funding, walking you through several options, we will remain actively involved in your project throughout construction. GLMV architects are specialists in several industries, and offer cost-effective, innovative, and award-winning design.

Our in-house Civil Engineering team works daily to balance our clients' project goals with the built environment, the site, and the surrounding infrastructure to provide an integrated design solution. Through early due-diligence planning, we work with local jurisdictions and identify critical design criteria and all the permits required to develop your project. Our experience has taught us that if we spend the time to gather all available information and listen to our clients' needs, the stage will be set for overall project success.

As a LEED Proven Provider, we've built our practice on green, sustainable design. Conserving natural resources, using recycled materials, and reducing carbon footprints are just the beginning, because when you work with GLMV, you gain access to any one of our 19 LEED Accredited Professionals. These sustainability leaders are pros in daylighting, water conservation, and higher performing walls, windows and roofs. Our belief is that all design should be sustainable, so whether or not you are seeking LEED certification on your project, we can guide you through energy-saving strategies and the many paybacks, both financial and environmental.
