We are Studio G Architects : a group of designers building sustainable communities, a project at a time. 
We draw upon a 15-year history as Gail Sullivan Associates, maintaining its essential values and augmenting them with a vibrant, multi-disciplinary capacity, broadened client base and geographic reach.  We offer a wide range of design services to public and private clients, tackling each project and each client’s agenda with a fresh and creative approach.  We specialize in:

• designing buildings, landscapes and neighborhoods for living, working, playing and gathering.
• preserving historic structures, often adapting them to new uses. 
• commercial revitalization and community planning projects that enhance urban, suburban and rural environments. 
• investing each project with the most environmentally responsible choices possible given the constraints of program and budget.

In the 21st century, the threat of global climate change is palpable. We embrace the critical role designers play in confronting this issue, and we utilize the full range of sustainable principles, practices and technologies in our work to renew humanity's reciprocal relationship with the environment and preserve our planet's built and natural landscapes. Our understanding of sustainability encompasses economic and social viability, as well as environmental issues. for us, sustainable communities are distinguished by architecture that is: environmentally sensitive We integrate environmentally sensitive and sensible materials and techniques into our projects to minimize the use of non-renewable resources. We investigate the life cycle value of systems and materials to ensure efficient use of limited resources. We balance these considerations against the client's specific constraints, to develop responsive, buildable designs that reflect their values and support their priorities. people-centered A successful design captures the essence of community to support and enhance the activities that transpire within the space. We design with and for our clients, in consideration of what they value and what makes them unique. Our varied experience, across program type and in different architectural languages, speaks to the diversity of our clients' visions, values and requirements, and to our dedication to crafting spaces that reflect and sustain their communities. place-specific We are curious designers who utilize design as a tool to enhance the fabric of community. In the design of any building, landscape or neighborhood, there is an opportunity to explore the specific culture, history and physicality of a place and the people who live there. Design which embraces the cultures, values and traditions of a community and engages the idiosyncrasies of a site defines a unique sense of place. mixed-use Neighborhoods that possess a mix of housing types, workplaces, commerce and public spaces tend to be economically diverse and resilient, supporting people of varied ages, means and lifestyles. With public transit nearby, accessible pedestrian and bicycle paths and welcoming public spaces, such diverse neighborhoods encourage interaction and sustain community.
