Services
The enduring work of the GH2 Hospitality team’s dedicated senior hospitality architects, architects, designers, 3D modeling experts, full-time cost estimators, and interior designers has made us a preferred architectural firm in the industry.
Architecture
Our architecture services start with our clients’ direct involvement through programming and design work-sessions. This approach encourages valuable input to determine spatial adjacencies and ensures we are addressing their needs.
Interior Design
Each interior concept is developed to meet the specific needs and desires of each client and the individual project. There is not one specific “look” of a GH2 interior design project; rather, each project results in a unique look and custom tailored solution.
