Long Beach, New York May 17, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - GWB Architect, P.C. founder George Bella, AIA has been awarded the Henry Hobson Richardson Award for contribution to the quality of public architecture in the NY community.
This marks the first time a Long Island NY architect has received the Henry Hobson Richardson Award, which recognizes AIA members licensed in NY State and practicing in the private sector who have made a significant contribution to the quality of NYS public architecture and who have established a portfolio of accomplishments to that end.
George Bella is a Long Beach, NY local who gained a great deal of experience from learning, streamlining and managing his family masonry & construction business from a young age. Architecture school was a natural progression, earning him a B.S. in Architectural Technology from NYIT in 1992. After completing school he worked as a Project Manager for JRS Architecture in NY for several years, became a registered architect and worked with WASA/Studio A in NY for a few more years. It was at that time Mr. Bella decided to launch his own firm, which he opened in Long Beach in 2001. Now, 17 years later he operates GWB Architect, taking on projects from Long Beach out to the Hamptons across Long Island.
George’s experience includes designing, managing and consulting on projects across residential, workspace and commercial projects. He has acute knowledge in local zoning, sustainable building (having a LEED Advanced Professional in-house), seaside design and coastal material consideration, which integrates longevity and a high quality product across all projects. He is an expert in the industry on Home Elevations and new FEMA compliant construction. George is also active in the Architecture community as a local Chamber of Commerce Member and a professional mentor with organizations such as the Long Island Architecture & Design Group; his advice and guidance is highly respected among clients, friends and colleagues.
