OUR STORY

▱ Larry and Mary Gilland started LGA Studios in 1982 — seven months after they were married — and our small yet mighty team has designed well over 4,000 homes and projects over the course of our forty years (and counting!) in business.

▱ But one thing we know from all that industry experience is to always stay on the cutting edge. Our team stays fresh with continuing education, innovative technologies, and new faces. We’re just as comfortable creating a hand-drawn sketch as a 3D rendering, and we enjoy using our talents to visually communicate designs to our clients.

▱ We’re proud to say our company has been built through word-of-mouth, and nothing makes us happier than when a client returns to have us design another home for them, or when we get the opportunity to design homes for the children of our previous clients.

 Testimonial

“One year ago today we moved into our amazing home . . . I can honestly say, I wouldn’t change a thing! We achieved everything we set out to do and it feels like home. We have you to thank for guiding us through the process, listening to both of our ‘wants and needs’ and inserting your awesome ideas into the design. The house is WARM and cozy, but feels spacious and light. The energy flows perfectly around the house and there are no areas where doors bang into each other (imagine that) or awkward spaces. It’s just magical! We have you to thank for bringing our ideas to life . . . It’s magazine worthy (but I’m prejudice, of course) and it’s hard to believe it’s ours!”
