Meet the Business Owner

Gerald C.

Business Owner

Gerry Cowart’s designs are based upon a complex philosophy that has grown from a love and respect for history, nature, science and the art of Architecture. Cowart is quick to tell you that he is not an imitator of history but a part of the continuum of Southern Architecture. «I was taught the philosophies of modern Architecture while I was at Georgia Tech in the 1970’s — glass, steel, less is more, truth in materials. I see myself as a modern architect that respects context, history, and environment. I don’t worship the past. I just happen to feel that when Architecture shows its respect for the past, it is more beautiful. Learning from the past, respecting place, and incorporating the best technology are my goals.»
