About Our Firm:

Guerin Glass Architects is a collaborative design practice that uses architecture to amplify each site’s unique character and connect people with their surroundings.

Established in 2004, the firm has built a wide range of projects, including world class hotels, resort master plans, family retreats and mixed-use campuses. Across our portfolio, the connecting thread is clean, refined, well-planned spaces that perform in daily life and integrate with their surroundings.

Our diverse body of work is focused on this site-specific approach. From a horizontal resort in Mexico’s East Cape to a multi-level home bridging past and present in downtown Aspen—our firm’s architecture and their environs are inextricably linked. Rigorous planning forms the backbone of our process. Paired with programmatic analysis and context-driven design, we pursue elegant solutions that underscore the conceptual vision. Project delivery is equally important, and thus meticulous standards for documentation, extensive material research and hands-on project administration play an integral role in how we work. We are committed to using our expertise and project involvement to integrate sustainability and advocate for design that contends with climate change.

With offices in Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Honolulu, our team is united by our clear and comprehensive approach to design. While many of our projects extend over 1 million square feet and cater to international clientele, we take pride in our more personal and informal way of working. By developing sincere, generative and collaborative relationships with clients, we build long-term
relationships and repeat business. This has enabled our team to grow and allows us to continually refine our approach.

We endeavor to make architecture that strengthens the relationship between individuals and their
surroundings—shaping how people perceive, inhabit and engage with the world.
