For over 30-years in a lead-design role, Mr. Gellos has led many innovative projects including a broad range of Corporate, Office, Health Care, Entertainment, Recreation and Brand Identity commissions.  Fundamental to his project approach is working within a collaborative team-oriented project delivery structure to achieve a company's program, schedule and budget goals. He served as lead designer for Ericsson's North American Headquarters project in Plano, Texas, a 38-acre corporate campus master plan encompassing 1.5 million square feet of built environment for the Sweden-based technology giant.  The project gained international recognition for workplace design that reinforced corporate culture and brand while building business success; a project that; "...makes the conventions that govern North American office design look obsolete..." (Architectural Record).
