Founded in 1957 by classmates Kirk Craig and Earle Gaulden, and joined by Bill Davis in the sixties, CGD has been building meaningful relationships for 65 years.
Growing from a small local firm to a regional practice, the company prospered due to its resourcefulness, hands-on approach to project delivery, and unwavering integrity. Over the years interior design was woven into the practice, and the firm has been called on by both public and private sectors to meet increasingly complex challenges.
Today, guided by its second generation of leaders, Craig Gaulden Davis remains committed to the values embedded in its DNA: community, creativity and integrity. Architects and interior designers work together to find solutions that reach beyond building design to positively impact organizations and the communities they serve.
