Gus inherited his talent from his father, an Architect Engineer in Italy,
who introduced Gus to the world of architecture as a young boy.
Years later, when Gus returned to Rome, as an established Architect,
he was moved by the striking resemblance of his own work to that of his Dad’s.
In the more than 3 decades since Gus and his wife Laney founded Morpurgo Architects, we have built our reputation on elegant aesthetics, technical savvy, and client satisfaction. Gus brings his unique eye for design to each of our projects, while Laney communicates our shared vision for the firm through her Website Design, Marketing, PR, and Photo Images.
Over the years, our architects have said it best, as evidenced in Architect Heidi Kleinman’s Google review of Gus:
“Gus possesses the characteristics other architects admire in those who practice in the architectural profession. There is a deliberate thoughtfulness to his approach to design. He simultaneously grasps the client’s programmatic goals, the contractor’s practical goals, and the passions of an artist: bringing beauty to the built environment.”
