Principal Architect AIA NCARB

Driven by the dual nature of design as art and team sport, simultaneously introspective and collaborative, Gabe believes that our most successful buildings, cities, landscapes, and places have the power to foster and nourish human relationships and community, teach us, and inspire creativity. An architecture that brings people together through and by design, allowing them to engage deeply and share ideas is the ideal outcome.

Gabe’s pursuit of architecture springs from the belief that listening to and understanding a project’s unique circumstances, its Genius loci, and the perspectives of its future occupants, will inspire a design that contributes to deep and lasting connections between people and to the spirit of the place. Good buildings require an understanding of the principles of structure, light, and space; extraordinary buildings require an understanding of people.

For more than 25 years Gabe has served in key design roles in a wide variety of building types and sectors including residential (single and multi-family), academic (all levels), cultural, athletics, workplace, retail, and hospitality. Prior to forming Materia Prima Studio, Gabe was a Principal with national practice Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.

Gabe is a Registered Architect in Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming
