Calvin Gallion, III
Originally from Natchitoches, Louisiana, Calvin discovered his love of architecture and design at an early age. He comes from a large family of artists and designers and adopted that mindset very quickly. Growing up in Natchitoches fostered a deep respect for historic preservation that shows in his work, but can transition to modern designs seamlessly. Calvin attended Tulane School of Architecture and graduated with his Master of Architecture with a minor in Urban Design. During his time at Tulane, he attended DIS in Copenhagen, Denmark studying urban design, architecture and furniture design.
Calvin has worked on projects of varying sizes and has even led teams for larger programs and designs, including single family residential, university work and restaurants. He has cultivated respectful working relationships with numerous regulatory agencies, including the Vieux Carré Commission, National Park Services and State Historic Preservation Office.
