Biography
A3G Architects is a full-service architectural firm providing planning, architectural and interior design services for commercial and residential projects. A3G is a certified WBE/DBE/SLBE that was founded by principal architect, Aimee Gray, in 2010. We strive to provide the highest quality of service to all of our clients, no matter how small or large the project. Women-owned and staffed, we pride ourselves on listening carefully and turning your vision into a reality.
A critical component of creating this reality is the use of 3d software, Revit and Google SketchUp, which allows you to see multiple options through the design process, as well as the way your project will look upon completion. Unlike technical documents and drawings intended for contractors and engineers, this method of delivery positions you to fully understand your project’s components and make decisions based on a deeper understanding of the design. It helps to envision the impact of changes made through the design process and creates a clearer understanding of your project’s components for a holistic approach.
