Calvin Gallion, III

Originally from Natchitoches, Louisiana, Calvin discovered his love of architecture and design at an early age. He grew up in a large family of artists and designers and fell comfortably into that mindset very quickly. Growing up in Natchitoches instilled a sense of historic preservation that shows in his work, but can transition to modern designs seamlessly. Calvin left Natchitoches to attend Tulane School of Architecture and graduated with a Master of Architecture degree with a minor in Urban Design in 2017. During his time at Tulane, he studied abroad at DIS in Copenhagen, Denmark for a semester 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.
