Griffin Enright Architects
Architect Los Angeles / United States
Careful attention to details of assembly and construction, the utilization of local characteristics of environment and light, and the highest-level craft of materials and geometry merge to activate Griffin Enright projects as uniquely impactful environments. By combining strategic form with building performance and environmental considerations, the office creates work that both inspires and expands the realm of architecture, adding value to their projects and the communities (or individuals) they serve. Transcending the traditional scope of architectural practice, Griffin Enright’s work underscores connections to the surrounding urban fabric and landscape – allowing urban context, architecture, and landscape to be experienced in new, unanticipated ways.
Griffin Enright Architects have received more than 50 commendations for design excellence, including the American Architecture Award, the American Architecture Prize, local and national AIA awards, and have been published extensively in national and international publications and exhibitions. In addition to leading a prominent and progressive practice, principals John and Margaret bridge the profession and the academy as active educators and researchers of contemporary conditions in architecture, teaching design and technology courses at SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) where John is currently the Vice Director. They additionally participate in their community through public service; Margaret is on the City of Santa Monica’s Architectural Review Board and John serves on the Los Angeles Mayor’s Design Advisory Board.
