About
Gilda is an independent studio working at the intersection of design and execution.
The studio grew out of hands-on experience with materials, fabrication, and construction, and through work on projects across a range of scales.
We collaborate with architects, public institutions, and private clients on projects that require design precision, material understanding, creativity, and the ability to lead a process through to realization.
