Civic & Cultural
Dedicated to crafting spaces that reflect community values, our Civic & Cultural design teams excel in projects ranging from public safety to arts venues, non-profit organizations, and historic preservation and adaptive reuse, each tailored to enhance the urban fabric and cultural landscape.
Design Maxims
GFF's Design Maxims are a set of guidelines that the firm uses to ensure that our design process is consistent and effective. At a minimum, we seek to deliver design work that is thoughtful and successful in seven different areas.
Firm History
A 40th anniversary places GFF in rare company. Only a very small handful of design firms in Dallas can claim a longevity of this duration. It takes calculated foresight, dedication, stamina, and perhaps even a little luck, to successfully navigate any type of business – much less an architectural practice – through 40 years of cautious but sustained growth in a sometimes-volatile market and economy.
Architecture
Our decades-long commitment to workplace culture, the enrichment of our cities, and design excellence has earned us numerous accolades, including the prestigious TxA Architecture Firm Award in 2019.
