About UsGQA - GQArchitect, Inc. - is an architectural design firm founded by George Quaiver in 2008.
Founder, George Quaiver graduated in 2008 from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation with a M.S. in Advanced Architectural design. Since then, the firm has collaborated with multiple local Hawaii firms to execute multiple residential projects. Recently we have started to be commissioned for commercial projects such as Butterfly Ice Cream in SALT at Kaka'ako, Waikiki Yokocho at the Waikiki Shopping plaza and Da Cove Health Bar at the new Kapolei Mall. Due to the power and flexibility of our current digital world, the office location has gone "rogue" over the last few years and we currently have no real static home base. We are temporarily based in and out of Honolulu, HI, or wherever it/we seems to fit for the project. GQA is usually involved in and responsible for all commissions from design inception through to completion. |
