Gunnar Groves-Raines featured in the Design Leadership Network’s Journal

23.01.2025

We are delighted to see GRAS Director Gunnar Groves-Raines featured in the Design Leadership Network’s Journal. The piece beautifully captures our commitment to “shaping architecture’s role in building meaningful connections and sustainable communities, underscoring the idea that architecture can—and should—be a force for progress and connection.”

Gunnar reflects on the delicate balance between preserving heritage and forging new paths. The article highlights our approach to crafting meaningful spaces that blend heritage, materiality, and contemporary design. His reflections on layering conservation with innovation embody the ethos of GRAS, where every project tells a unique story rooted in place and craftsmanship.

Explore how our studio continues to push the boundaries of architecture and design in “How an Architecture Studio Created a New Vision for Community in Edinburgh.”
