Mission
Creating Memorable Places
The words in our corporate mission were chosen carefully. Because we are Architects, Interior Designers, and Planners, the places we create take on many forms: the workplace interior, courtyards and spaces between buildings, walkable mixed use villages and the educational campus, for instance. A memorable place is beautiful, uplifting, sustainable and authentic…crafted to endure so that its value builds over time.

Board Service
GFF is committed to making an impact in our communities. In Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin, members of our firm serve as leaders and Board Members within organizations that seek to make our cities better places for all.
Sustainability
GFF carefully considers the resources of our clients and our planet to create healthier, higher performing environments. Sustainable projects reduce waste and natural resource consumption while promoting occupant morale, student performance and employee productivity.
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.
Careers
GFF is interested in discussing career opportunities with talented, well-qualified, energetic and highly-motivated individuals. We offer a dynamic and stimulating work environment, competitive salary/benefits and advancement potential at all levels for Architects, Interior Designers, Planners, and our Operations Team.
