GLS Landscape I Architecture

GLS is a landscape architecture firm in San Francisco that designs places of simplicity and spatial clarity, typically with complex site planning issues, a connection to nature and often with an architectural component. We have a multi-disciplinary office culture and we work closely with clients to give meaningful form to their aspirations, to integrate interior and exterior spaces and materials, reinforce spatial ideas through horticultural design, and to solve problems associated with difficult sites and new ecologies.

GLS places a priority on the following ideas and values:

• The integration of landscape, architecture and infrastructure
• Architectural quality detailing in the landscape
• Horticulture that performs a spatial and ecological role beyond ornamentation
• An emerging second nature where nature and structure are intertwined
• The awareness of history and precedent in landscape, architecture and urban design
