The Principal of the firm, Sander Gladstone, has been involved in architectural design, interior design, urban planning, urban design, furniture design, branding, way-finding, and signage / communications, and construction-management, since the mid-1970's.
Sander, and his architectural firm, SGA, follow a multi-disciplinary approach to architectural consulting, where structure, building envelope, materials science, air systems, power and lighting, life-safety, siting, climate, life-cycle and recovery efficiencies, LEED compliance opportunities, style, and fixtures/finishes+equipment, all meld to create optimal, beautiful, functionally successful, architectural solutions.
These solutions endeavour to address any and all relevant project considerations raised by the Client and other Stake-holders, as well as those external influences ( socio-economic, municipal, environmental, etc. ) including:
A design philosophy and direction, developed jointly with SGA and the Client / Stakeholders;
The spatial program ( building type, rooms, sizes, adjacencies, technical requirements, etc. );
The objectives established by the Stakeholders’ stated needs, wants, budgets, design-preferences, and milestones/timing, requirements;
The site's and environ's soils, hydrology, topography, and environmental characteristics
Critical in the design process are the characteristics of the site, and how the buildings will make use of, and be at one with, the users and environs :
How the building(s) grow from the ground, and "fit-in" with the surroundings;
How the buildings' massing, volume, lighting, texture, ambiance, and circulation will affect and enable pedestrians, vehicle users, and the time/space dynamic;
How the buildings avoid adverse impact ( wind, vibration / quake, shadows, view obstruction, smells, reflections, circulation, community, etc. ), and,
How the buildings will meet the sky, whether little dog houses or 45 storey condominium towers.
All design-styles are possible, with varying degrees of the clients' and architect's personality included. Somewhat as perfume may be lovely on its own, but delightfully more-so when blended with the attributes of the wearer.
It has been SGA’s experience that project accomplishments and outcomes are most often superior when Clients have some time to be active participants in the design team.
SGA would welcome the opportunity to help you with your project :
to address your needs
to help create your newest contribution to melding purpose+art+technology;
to add to world form;
to the physical world's volume and mass;
to add stimuli to the senses,
to add to the historical record,
to help you create wealth and equity, and sometimes, cash-flow ( rental income )
It can all come together for you. Right now.
