Passionate about designing buildings and neighborhoods that quietly transform the urban environment, Torti Gallas is committed to improving the living conditions of distressed communities throughout the United States and around the world. Combining the disciplines of architecture, planning, and urban design into a single practice, they have leveraged lessons from their early history as a suburban-based housing firm to create a practice devoted to designing and creating the housing that brings catalytic change to urban neighborhoods. Their residential commissions are not the?one-offs? of elite houses, but the multiple housing forms?mixed-use apartment buildings, rowhouses, single-family homes that comprise the fabric of a city. Torti Gallas is dedicated to raising the level of this architecture to a new high. John Francis Torti, FAIA, is President of Torti Gallas + Partners. He is a member of the board of the Congress for the New Urbanism and was previously affiliated with the National Capital Planning Commission. Thomas M. Gallas, CPA, CEO of Torti Gallas, was appointed by President Obama to the National Capital Planning Commission. Cheryl A. O'Neill, AICP, is a Principal and Urban Designer at Torti Gallas.
