Founded in the Pacific Northwest, GO’C is an award-winning architecture & design studio inspired by the interplay of rational design and artistic expression. From residential to commercial and arts-focused civic spaces, we thrive in the challenges and opportunities of site-specific work. Our mission is to cultivate a collaborative design ethos dedicated to producing expressive and contextual architecture that enriches its place.
Our design process begins with an openness to listen and learn from each project’s landscape, history, and culture while simultaneously understanding our client’s values and vision. The narrative and spirit of each project is developed collectively with our clients, revealed gradually with our understanding and study of the site, and is refined with discussions between our collaborators in design and makers leading the build. Working with thoughtful purpose and sensitivity to place and people helps us balance our commitments, follow our values, and proceed responsibly with our work. We strive for an enduring architecture that is shared and enjoyed for generations and align our studio with clients and projects seeking longevity with responsible designs. Decisions in our practice are reached through collective discussions and iterative design. We seek timeless solutions with simplicity, elegant proportions, and an honest expression of materials leading the way.
