GLO Architecture

Architecture & Design

About

GLO Architecture in downtown San Diego's East Village specializes in income-restricted housing design from its Market Street studio, producing multifamily projects for seniors, veterans, formerly homeless individuals, and families since the firm's 2017 founding. Construction-document packages for tax-credit-financed housing developments coordinate structural, MEP, and accessibility details with general contractors — Creative Builds Construction among those executing residential builds — under the compressed schedules that LIHTC funding deadlines impose. Clients include Affirmed Housing Group, Community Housing Works, Bridge Housing, Eden Housing, and San Diego Community Housing Corporation, each requiring California Tax Credit Allocation Committee compliance and San Diego Housing Commission design-standards approval. Landscape integration on dense subsidized-housing parcels connects GLO's site plans to courtyard and common-area planting programs, coordinating ground-level hardscape and stormwater management with the residential landscape work that Rodarte Landscape Architecture produces on neighboring downtown infill sites. The firm's most complex commissions involve rehabilitation of mid-century apartment stock — including the Genesis Apartments, a nine-unit 1949-era complex converted into accessible housing for senior veterans who experienced homelessness, requiring seismic retrofit, ADA-compliant unit redesign, and energy-efficiency upgrades under a single entitlement package.
