ABOUT GS

Established in 2005 in Hamilton, Ontario as TCA | Thier + Curran Architects and later becoming CGS Curran Gacesa Slote Architects, GS Gacesa Slote Architects is a full-service design firm that is busy, dynamic, and ambitious.

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.

GS’s diverse portfolio is founded on two constant principles: a highly collaborative design approach, and a recognition that buildings and sites themselves collaborate in the making of places. We aim to create architecture that is expressive and participatory, architecture that responds to the human needs of habitation; and that draws on alliances with surroundings, landscape, the arts, and the rhythms of human activity.

Our work is decidedly contemporary, yet respectful of context and history. Our buildings are thoughtful and engaging. They transcend the ordinary.

EXPERIENCE

Our wide-ranging portfolio demonstrates our team’s versatility and inspires us to bring a fresh approach to each new assignment. GS projects include education facilities, public buildings, housing, interiors, cultural facilities, commercial and mixed-use buildings, and healthcare projects. We undertake interior design and urban design projects, and pay attention to even the most minute details—including designing our project’s signage.

We work across a broad geographic area, but our focus is our home: Hamilton and the surrounding region.
