  Geoffrey Lewis Architect Inc. - Honolulu, Hawaii  
     

Architecture is a very integral piece of our social fabric. This built environment must be sensitive to the natural surroundings and creative, playful and thoughtful so to impact society in a positive way. Successful space planning (‘function’) coupled with exciting and provocative three dimensional design (‘form’), co-rise as one to create this wonderful architectural environment.

We experience space not in plan and elevation, but in three dimensions. All great spaces, whether indoor, outdoor or the ambiguous line between, evoke emotion, stimulate the mind, and most importantly settle the soul. Architecture should not overwhelm, but inspire and provide thought and intrigue.

Home is very personal and should function in harmony with who we are; it is where one spends time of reflection & spirituality, a family spends time of sharing & play and a gathering of friends spend time of fellowship & celebration. The solutions of home should enhance your life without adversely impacting our natural environment which we all share.

At GLAI, we pride ourselves on a positive and engaging relationship between the Owner and Architect. The requirements of success are trust, mutual respect and through the process, a new found friendship. Our ultimate goal is that in the end, the Owner finds all their functional needs and desires fulfilled and above all, they are awe inspired by the architecture and all it brings to their lives.
