DEC.24
Call it DNA, call it destiny: David Galullo was fated for a career in design and architecture. Credit his late father, an Italian American builder and visionary who passed on a worldview that became the underpinning of his son’s multidisciplinary practice. “He taught me to see the world as an opportunity for improvement rather than something completed,” begins the consummate professional who, although a licensed architect, does not necessarily call himself such. “I don’t want limits.” And indeed, there are none—not in the all-encompassing work of Rapt Studio, of which Galullo is founder, CEO, and chief creative officer, nor in its governing principles. He launched the firm in 2011 in San Francisco, heeding the Golden State’s siren call after a childhood in Trenton, New Jersey, followed by a bachelor’s degree from the Syracuse University School of Architecture in New York and early professional experience in Philadelphia. Stints at such Bay Area firms as Pollack Architecture and Gordon Chong + Partners (now Stantec), preceded Rapt, which has since opened two other offices, in Los Angeles and New York, with a total staff of 45. “Design is all about building a story of belonging, about building places where people believe they’re part of something larger than themselves,” Galullo reflects, characterizing Rapt’s germinating idea. “I believe we can move the needle to a better community, to a better future.” For Galullo, these are not just lofty words. They are commitments Rapt puts into practice from a project’s inception through its design and development phases, all the way to completion. Initial client meetings always begin with a series of probing questions: Why are you different? Why do you matter? Why would the world be a darker place without you? “What we do is build connections—between people, and between a person and their best self,” Galullo responds when, tables turned, he’s asked the same questions. “There are no bad de cisions; I’m completely optimistic.” As for his superpower, he again credits his parents: “I can do whatever I put my mind to. I never accept ‘no,’ but I stay humble and curious.” Galullo’s widowed mother now lives with him and his husband Peter King on a 7-acre Sonoma sprawl with chickens, ducks, goats, and vegetable gardens—the perfect setting for the extravagant cooking and entertaining gatherings the extrovert designer delights in hosting. Work is a matter of gathering, too. Each project team assembles talents spanning the full creative spectrum: architecture, design, graphics, branding, marketing, and communications. With no siloing by skill set, everyone has a voice and is free to critique any part of a proposal, not just their area of expertise. This not only results in an integrated response to each brief but also helps shape Rapt’s organization, with its
