ZGF has been responsible for urban design, transit-related development, and landscape architecture for diverse projects, including light rail, bus transit, public and private buildings, multimodal facilities, streetscape improvements, parks, and pedestrian corridors. Our design philosophy is centered on the premise that excellence should be reflected in each and every aspect of a building—its fit within the community and campus, its function and relationship to its users, its building systems, and its cost. This dedication to design excellence at every level has resulted in recognition by numerous national, regional, and local awards, including the prestigious Architecture Firm Award from the American Institute of Architects, which recognizes the firm’s “high standards, humanistic concerns, and unique ability to capture the spirit of a place and the aspirations of its inhabitants.”
