We are pleased to announce that CGS is beginning a new era as GS Gacesa Slote Architects. Our new name recognizes our continued evolution under the leadership of Stevan Gacesa and Kyle Slote. Stevan and Kyle each joined the firm in 2007 and have been a longstanding part of the leadership team. GS Architects gives a new name to an established relationship built on complementary talent, diverse skills, and respect.
Aside from the change of name, what does this new era for the firm really mean? We see this time as an opportunity to renew and strengthen who we are and how we work. We have some new staff, revitalized project approaches, and a lot of exciting ideas for architecture and the Hamilton Region. Over the coming months, we look forward to sharing more about the people, projects, and ideas that make GS Gacesa Slote Architects a design firm you’ll want to get to know better.
