Greg LaForest

AIA, LEED AP

Associate

Greg brings over 20 years of design expertise across a wide variety of project types. His experience also includes eight years working in the construction industry, which give him a valuable understanding of both design intent and the realities of building. He excels at solving problems and building consensus among clients, consultants, and construction partners. He leverages different perspectives to find solutions that are practical, innovative, and enhance the design of the spaces people inhabit. Greg’s passion for building began at age seven, when he used leftover materials from his parents’ home construction to build his first clubhouse—a hands-on curiosity that continues to inform his approach to projects.
