A couple weeks ago our team scored big at the annual IIDA Oregon Chapter Design Excellence Awards. Thank you to the jury committee for recognizing our design for the new ZoomInfo headquarters as Best in the Workplace category!

The new ZoomInfo HQ at the Vancouver waterfonrt reflects the company’s growth from a PNW start-up to a global tech leader. Designed to foster connection and productivity, the workplace combines a warm sophisticated palette and brand specific geometry with a central hub that brings people together. We’re excited to watch ZoomInfo thrive in their new space. 😌

This work couldn’t have been done without our amazing partners and consultants: Lease Crutcher Lewis Hyphn JLL . Go team!

Today marks the 100th anniversary of Maryhill Museum of Art’s dedication!

In 1907, Samuel Hill purchased 5,300 acres of land along the Columbia Gorge. He began work on a hillside mansion, but the remote location presented challenges. Hill’s friend convinced him to turn his mansion into an art museum. On November 3, 1926, while the museum was still unfinished, Sam Hill’s friend Queen Marie of Romania dedicated the building before a crowd of more than 2,000 people. After a series of setbacks and while sitting as art storage, the Maryhill Museum finally opened to the public in 1940.

GBD is proud to have become part of Maryhill’s history, working with the museum over the years on master planning, renovations, and its major expansion. Designed largely underground, the Maryhill Addition gave the museum room to grow while preserving the historic building’s presence within its remarkable Columbia River Gorge setting.

Here’s to the next century, Maryhill Museum of Art !

This milestone reflects the power of a truly collaborative, thoughtful team. We’re proud to be part of the group shaping the future of PSU’s campus!
We can’t wait to see this project come to life. ✨

This year for month we thought we’d go big–we think GBD’s commitment to our planet should be clear enough already, but in case it isn’t, we’ve officialized our commitment with a Climate Action Plan! The CAP not only lists our current sustainability achievements to date, but also identifies areas where we can improve (we’re always improving), and our internal Sustainability score cards featured in the CAP are tools we’ve devised to hold us accountable for ever greener and more human design. You can find our Climate Action Plan under the tab on our website, or at the link in our bio (or come visit us and see some snippets from the CAP hanging in our lobby).
