Finding Funds for Sustainability: GBBN’s IRA Calculator Goes Live!
GBBN has publicly released its Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Calculator, a tool that helps our clients—and now, the wider public—understand funding opportunities in the IRA for sustainable design. “People generally understand the goals of the IRA, but in conversations with developers and others in the building industry, we’ve found they frequently don’t understand its details […]
Party of one? Your table is ready.
A quiet spot to focus is just the ticket for some tasks. Having places to touchdown and concentrate undisturbed for an hour-- to knock out a report or put the finishing touches on a presentation--helps support employees throughout the day. Also, who doesn`t love a booth? @unitedwaygc photographed by @ryanckurtz #architecture #design #workplace #workplacedesign #office #officedesign #interiordesign #interiors

You never forget a great show...or where you saw it.
Recent research analyzing social media comments suggests that, beyond the performance, theater architecture and design play an important role in a patron`s overall impression and experience. As theaters seek to reach new audiences and adjust to changing demographics, lifestyle habits, and purchase patterns, social media offers arts organizations unique perspectives into what patrons find vital about their theater experience. When @cincyshakes opened the new Otto M. Budig Theater, 95% of social media review photos were taken from the first floor lobby. Read more about this research at gbbn.com/research. We worked with a local fabricator on the rolled steel railings that add character to the concrete, glass, and exposed vents that give the lobby its raw yet refined vibe. Simple materials, creatively used, evoke the constant process of creation happening in this building.

We see architecture beyond buildings…
A few gorgeous examples from our recent parametric lamp workshop. Working through a simple Rhino/Grasshopper script, participants generated 3D printed lamps. Having in-house computational design & fabrication expertise and capabilities lets us explore and push design in all kinds of directions. S’cool, right? #architecture #design #parametric #lamp #lampdesign #lampshade #lampshades #lampshadesofinstagram

Thank you @retrofitmag for recognizing us with our fourth #metamorphosis award! This year, our work on the main entry renovation @uc_health received first place in the Wild Card category. This category recognizes projects that have made significant or creative improvements to a building, structure, or neighborhood, but don`t fit neatly into another category. From its striking new canopy (designed in-house in collaboration with our computational design & fabrication program) to a renovated interior that feels welcoming, uplifting, and intuitive to navigate, this project encompasses a little bit of everything and adds up to a big impact. #architecture #design #interiordesign #health #healthcare #hospital #arrival #awards

Our work on the Cardiac Catheterization Prep and Recovery spaces at @trihealth ’s Bethesda North Hospital was recognized with a Gold Award from @hcdmagazine in the Remodel/Renovation Category.
The jury loved how calm, modern, and streamlined the renovated space feels. This juror’s comment sums up their appreciation for our work: “Graphics, wayfinding, and lighting are cohesive with the overall design and make a huge impact in a warm and welcoming experience. The design team absolutely met the goal of improved access, family support, and features for increased staff collaboration and retention. The team’s incorporation of the mesh pattern of heart stents shows a level of respect and understanding of what actually happens in that space. Bravo!”
Thank you to the judges for recognizing our work!

Stop us if you`ve heard this one before: How many architects does it take to make a lamp?
Fun little parametric design workshop in our Cincinnati office today with our Director of Computational Design & Fabrication, Troy Malmstrom. Enhancing skills, getting inspired, building community across offices...it`s all in here! If you can build a lamp you can build a building, right?😉 #architecture #design #parametricdesign #lamp

"It`s all done in a lovely way, but it`s done cost effectively," says Molly Ironmonger, system director of planning and preconstruction for Bon Secours Mercy Health in a new feature on @mercy_health Kings Mills Hospital in @hcdmagazine. Working with our partner @riversidearchitectural was instrumental in figuring out the best radius and treatment for the wood elements so design and buildability were aligned early. Together, we were able to leverage the natural, pre-cut dimensions of the wood which helped save time and material cost. Using Rift White Oak with a natural finish aligned with Mercy`s standards for wood tones. It`s timeless and neutral in color and was compatible with other elements in the space. #architecture #design #healthcare #health #hospital #millwork #millworkdesign @danisbuilds photography: @ryanckurtz

Thanks @enquirer for sharing the design story of of @trihealth`s Good Samaritan Hospital West Tower. Humanly scaled to feel approachable, the new building not only consolidates services previously scattered across campus, it uses glass strategically to allow views in from the outside and bring daylight into interior spaces #architecture #design #health #healthcare #hospital #newconstruction @turnerconstructioncompany

More than just places to eat, campus dining facilities are social and study hubs. Research shows that student persistence and success are driven by their sense of engagement and belonging. Campus dining facilities offer key moments to help students make social connections and build their peer networks. The renovation of The Exchange at @carnegiemellon nearly doubles the dining area. Varied seating postures—high-tops near the windows, booths for a more intimate meal with friends, and communal tables—enable students to choose how to eat and engage with their peers. #architecture #design #highered #highereducation #dininghall #dining #campusdining

Contemporary, not clinical.
Working closely with @trihealth`s team on the new Women`s Services clinic at their Liberty location, the staff made clear their desire for a restroom that didn`t feel clinical. This will do nicely, don`t you think? The pops of color, soft pink ceiling, textured tile, boldly graphic sink create something truly special. Patients make choices about where to seek care. Differentiators like this can impact their decision-making. #architecture #design #interiordesign #interiors #healthcare #clinic #health #womenshealth #medical #medicalofficebuilding photo @cincyphil
