ZGF is a design firm with a focus on architecture, interior design and urban design. Founded 70 years ago in Portland, Oregon, with a mission to strive for design excellence, stewardship of our natural and built environment, and exceptional client service, ZGF has grown to include over 500 employees and additional offices in Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, New York, and Vancouver BC.
ZGF's design philosophy is centered on the premise that design excellence should be reflected in each and every aspect of a building—its fit with the community, its function and relationship to its users, its building systems, and its cost. The firm's design portfolio is intentionally diverse, ranging from transportation terminals, commercial office and mixed-use developments, to corporate campuses, healthcare and research buildings, academic facilities, libraries, and museums.
