GFF’s legacy of collaboration is built on a foundation of trust, flexibility, and a shared vision for excellence. We embrace the diverse roles required in collaborative projects—whether as the Design Architect, Architect-of-Record, Executive Architect, or in equal partnership with peer firms. Our adaptability and leadership qualities ensure that, no matter the role, we contribute meaningfully to the project’s success.
Our deep understanding of Texas jurisdictional nuances, combined with our strong community connections, uniquely positions us to navigate the complexities of large-scale projects. We leverage our local expertise and long-standing relationships to facilitate seamless collaboration, ensuring that every team member’s strengths are fully realized. This approach has led to successful partnerships with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Morphosis, Legorreta Arquitectos, Santiago Calatrava, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, Michael Hsu Office Of Architecture, Foster + Partners, OZ Architects, and Overland Partners.
At GFF, our working method is centered around analysis and consensus-building. We engage stakeholders at every stage, presenting multiple design alternatives that consider functionality, aesthetics, cost, and schedule. By fostering open communication and encouraging diverse perspectives, we ensure that our projects reflect the priorities and values of our clients rather than adhering to a singular style or vision.
The strength of our collaborative relationships is evident in the long-term partnerships we’ve cultivated, often spanning multiple projects and many years. These enduring collaborations are a testament to our technical expertise, our focus on innovative, cost-effective design solutions, and our unwavering commitment to exceeding client expectations. At GFF, we believe that the best way to make a lasting impact on our cities is by teaming with other firms to bring together the very best in design and creativity.
