At BGKT Architects a new company has emerged out of a longstanding partnership between Paul Gillespie, in practice since 1977, and Danny Bounds, who joined Paul in 1995 after 14 years with Holiday Inn corporate. Art Killebrew joined the company in 2011, and in addition to hospitality brings years of experience in large scale mixed-use, institutional, and corporate projects. We all continue to build upon an invaluable collection of knowledge and experience in hospitality design, as well as commercial, governmental, and institutional projects.
