Spencer Grice

Principal of Architecture

BLUE SKY THINKER

At the forefront of smbw’s design prowess, Spencer emerges as a guiding light in the realm of concept creation. With a commanding and revered perspective, he infuses concept design with a resonant voice, nurturing the growth of ideas within the team and influencing the dynamics of human interaction within architectural spaces. Spencer views architecture as a visual testament to human advancement, masterfully weaving connections between tradition and innovation. His profound grasp of real estate's role as a cornerstone of a client's enterprise is seamlessly translated into design, introducing an elevated layer of value to projects, regardless of their scale.

Design Drivers

What drives Spencer at work? Collaboration. Watching an idea develop in a group setting keeps Spencer excited about his work. He seeks to create a space for others to generate ideas and helps them to blossom.

Design Influences

Spencer embraces the notion that inspiration comes from different places for each project. Like any creative endeavor, design inspiration requires stimulation outside of the industry. "When all you do is think about architecture inside the bubble of architecture, your ideas become stale."
