The Firm Grows Rapidly

Larry Good becomes the president of AIA Dallas. During his tenure he collaborates with the Greater Dallas Planning Council to produce “Visions for Dallas” and loses the famous AIA Stetson signed by several dead Presidents.

Tammy Chambless wins the firm’s holiday design competition with a series of representations of the mythical town Ampersand, a project which celebrates the symbol appearing in the firm’s abbreviation GH&F.

Oil prices collapse, banks fail, the real estate market goes to pot and over the course of three years, the firm shrinks to 14 employees rattling around in 7,500SF in Trammell Crow Center.

The firm adds a fax machine and computer aided drafting.
