## About

### Houzz Badges

- Recommended on Houzz
- 25,000 Ideabook Saves

Architecture and design are, to a large extent, sculptural art forms involving and even unveiling the human spirit. We are given the opportunity daily to dream for our clients, to connect their hopes with a very defined sense of place.

From the earliest programming and design phases, the client’s visions are considered an extension of the built environment we have been asked to create. Each space is designed to evoke inspiration and investment in one’s sense of place. At Brian Gille Architects we are dedicated to creating good places in which to work, to live and to dream.

A broad educational background has allowed principal Brian Gille to enhance his ability to assimilate complex design programs and assemble them into creative building solutions. Mr. Gille also places a great emphasis on the variety of experiences he has received as a design professional. His association with award-winning architects across the country has brought to Brian Gille Architects the ability to address a wide range of building issues with innovative design. Mr. Gille is a registered architect in Louisiana and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).

### All 9 reviews

**★★★★★ — Susan Currie Design, Nov. 2019**

> We love working with Brian Gille Architects and have collaborated with Brian and his team on a number of projects over the years. They are responsive, creative, and have an eye for details.  Whether it’s planning a new home or renovating an historic home, he is especially talented at designing spaces that work for today’s families. He also has great relationships with experienced tradespeople which helps projects run smoothly.  They are our go-to architecture firm; we recommend them highly.

**★★★★★ — Fred Lyon, July 2017**

> As a construction professional, I have worked with a number of architects in a variety of contexts.  I consider Brian to be among the very best.  He has a keen design eye, an ability to listen to his client and then transfer what he hears into a first rate product.  He is sensitive to budget and works well with contractors.  I would unreservedly recommend him, both in terms of design and construction administration.  He is a delight and makes the home renovation process enjoyable.

**★★★★★ — Peyton Bush, May 2017**

> Brian Gille was very creative in designing a sophisticated home on an undersized lot that provides the functional living spaces we wanted, is energy efficient, is low maintenance, is visually appealing and is compatible with our traditional New Orleans neighborhood.

**★★★★★ — BEVOLO GAS & ELECTRIC LIGHTS, May 2017**

> Bevolo has worked closely with Brian Gille Architects since 2010 - providing handcrafted gas & electric lighting for a variety of their residential & historic properties. They have worked directly with one of our most experienced lighting designers, Kristy Saunier, to execute design projects throughout the New Orleans area. We applaud their timeless style, have enjoyed watching each project come to fruition, & love seeing our fixtures incorporated into their beautiful work. We look forward to future collaborations!

**★★★★★ — Shelby Saer, April 2017**

> We have been extremely happy with all of the work we have done with Brian and would highly recommend him! He is very talented and has vision beyond just the architecture - he wants to see the finished product perfect and has a good eye for everything.

**★★★★★ — Theresa Voorhies, April 2017**

> Brian was extremely professional and absolutely fantastic to work with! He listened to all of our ideas and worked with us completely, making our home architecturally functional and beautiful. Brian was accommodating with various additions and changes to the floor plans as well. I have highly recommended Brian to other people, and we liked him so much that we have used him for a second project!

**★★★★★ — cecilefallon, April 2017**

> Before starting my project with Brian Gille Architects, I did a lot of research on other companies and was beyond happy with my final decision to go with Brian. He was extremely professional throughout the entire process from the beginning until the end. Even a year after the job was completed he continued to assist me with various things around my home. Seeing as my husband was usually at work during the day, I worked exclusively with Brian and he was always extremely easy to work with and beyond reliable.

**★★★★★ — Albany Woodworks Inc, July 2015**

> Mr. Gille's architectural firm provided design direction for a beautiful remodel in uptown New Orleans. We were happy to provide restoration quality heart pine and heart cypress for the project and the owners remarked that when the project was completed, their guests thought the remodel achieved an enhancement of the home but appeared original to the home's original character. Mr. Gille's team was informative and expert and we highly recommend their company for historic renovation or new construction.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth, March 2015**

> Brian Gille designed and oversaw the building of our uptown home.  Our goal was to build a new home that looked like it had been in our neighborhood for years.  We wanted the inside to reflect the old New Orleans design as well.  Brian's plan for our home exceeded our expectations!  Every square inch was designed with care and was optimally utilized.  He worked with us to stay within budget while still designing a home that was beautiful and structurally sound.  His staff was excellent and extremely professional.  Brian saw our project through the build and his advice and guidance was invaluable!
