Job Position Title: Project Architect
Agency/firm: Gessel Leonard Architectural Studio
Job Description: Who We Are
Gessel Leonard Architectural Studio, GLAS for short, is a new educational architecture studio founded by two partners who've spent their careers designing schools and campuses across Southern California. We're not trying to be a big firm. We're trying to be the right firm, one where partners stay involved on every project from first sketch to last punch list, and where good ideas can come from anyone in the room.
GLAS is built around a simple idea: Whoever starts on a project should be the one who carries it through, working closely with the project architect and partners rather than handed off partway.
