Gamble & Gamble Architects

What Gamble & Gamble Architects does

Gamble & Gamble Architects is a private, WBE-certified architecture firm founded in 1993 in Atlanta by Michael Gamble as Gamble & Associates, and rebranded under its current name when Lee Ann Gamble joined as partner in 2000. The firm operates from offices in Atlanta, London, and Los Angeles, with a headcount in the 11-50 range, and is led by principals who maintain an academic affiliation with Georgia Tech, where Michael Gamble is a tenured professor.

The firm provides full-service architectural design, interiors, master planning, and development advisory across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Core technical specialties include adaptive reuse, historic preservation, sustainable design (net-zero buildings, cross-laminated timber construction, solar integration), and entitlements work for historic districts. Notable projects include the Hotel Clermont adaptive reuse, the Atlanta Daily World building, Pursell Farms resort, the Kendeda Sustainable House, and the Paulk House. The firm has received AIA Emerging Voices recognition (2001), multiple AIA, ULI, and National Trust awards, and has been featured in Harvard Design Magazine and Garden & Gun.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed design fees, with client work spanning individual residential commissions, multi-unit developer partnerships (Epic Development), and large hospitality/resort engagements (Oliver Hospitality, Valor Hospitality). The firm has vertically extended into in-house development advisory staffed by professionals with JD, MBA, and architecture credentials, allowing it to participate in project origination and entitlement work alongside pure design services.

Direct peers

• tvsdesign: Atlanta-based architecture firm (formerly Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates) where Lee Ann Gamble worked for a decade as Senior Associate before joining G+G. Directly comparable in Atlanta commercial, hospitality, and convention-center design practice and is the most direct talent-lineage peer.
• Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA): International hospitality interior design firm listed as a G+G partner consultant. Highly comparable on boutique and adaptive reuse hotel work (Hotel Clermont-class projects) and is a current collaborator on G+G's hospitality engagements.
• HGOR: Atlanta-based land planning and landscape architecture firm partnering with G+G on Pursell Farms master planning. Comparable as an Atlanta-based integrated design partner on master-planned communities and resort developments.
• Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio: Atlanta-based architecture firm with comparable boutique scale and practice mix spanning hospitality, multifamily, and adaptive reuse — a direct peer on the type of mid-size commercial and residential commissions G+G pursues.
• Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture: Atlanta-based boutique architecture firm focused on urban infill, multifamily, and mixed-use projects — closely comparable in scale, geography, and typology to G+G's Atlanta townhome and adaptive reuse practice.
• Surber Barber Choate + Hertlein: Atlanta boutique architecture firm with comparable scale (similar employee range) and overlapping residential, hospitality, and adaptive reuse practice in the same Atlanta market.

Broad incumbents

• Gensler: Largest global architecture and design firm with Atlanta presence across commercial interiors, hospitality, and mixed-use developments — directly comparable client segments (Oliver Hospitality, hospitality operators, master planners) but at massive scale relative to a11–50-person firm.
• SmithGroup: National integrated design firm with a strong sustainability practice and historic preservation portfolio that overlaps with G+G's net-zero, CLT, and adaptive reuse positioning, though at significantly larger scale.
• HOK: Global architecture practice with deep hospitality, sports, and adaptive reuse capabilities that overlap with G+G's Hotel Clermont and resort-style work. Operates as a broad incumbent across many verticals rather than as a boutique specialist.
• Perkins&Will: Global architecture firm with a significant Atlanta studio and strong higher-education, healthcare, and adaptive reuse practices. Overlaps with G+G on commercial and master-planning work but operates at much larger scale across a full portfolio.
